Proposal: change Show BIP39 Mnemonic
to Show Mnemonic Seed
only mention BIP39 in the FAQ, as anyone who knows the BIP number would know what a Mnemonic Seed is anyways.
from bitbox-wallet-app.
I would even consider going as far as to say Add Mnemonic Extension
.
from bitbox-wallet-app.
I'd probably skip the word mnemonic
for the passphrase. The passphrase is usable even if the user does not look at or touch a mnemonic seed ever (the "mnemonic" relates to the bip39 mnemonic, and does not mean the passphrase itself is or should be a mnemonic)
from bitbox-wallet-app.
Closing, as we just updated the information that is shown when enabling or disabling the passphrase prompt and currently have no plan to add a guide. As for "Show BIP39 Mnemonic" this was renamed to "Show recovery words", about a year ago in af412a6
we should also include some helpful description in the guide.
Also related threre will be a design change to the passphrase.

Thanks for the report. We will add a sidebar guide to this page, similar to the BitBox01, which goes into some detail for every action/button.
In the meantime: the mnemonic passphrase is not to be confused with the "mnemonic" or "mnemonic seed". The passphrase option allows you to enter an additional passphrase, with every passphrase deriving a different wallet.

Ah, 13th/25th word. Makes sense now.
Still, I think the wording is confusing. Maybe some users will even question how the password they enter on the device is connected to that BIP39 mnemonic button and the mnemonic passphrase at the bottom.
It feels like some alternative names from that bitcoin section would be less confusing. My personal favorite is Mnemonic Extension.
Unsure why "Enable Mnemonic Passpharse" is in the "Expert Settings". If explained correctly and in simple terms, I think it's quite a useful addition for every user.
from bitbox-wallet-app.
Agree that naming should be improved.
It is an expert setting because it requires great care when using it.
- losing the passphrase means the funds are gone for good
- the concept that every password derives a wallet is not very intuitive to newcomers, and leads to complications, e.g. a simple typo or mis-remembering the passphrase even slightly puts you in a different wallet with no warning. In the worst case, you might receive funds on it and not find it again.

You could say the same thing about the backup or keys in general.

I would argue that the connection between the password a user enter on the device and "Show BIP39 mnemonic" button is also not very intuitiive to newcomers. I mean, the passphrase is not the only unintuitive thing that newcomers need to learn.
Anyway, as long it's described and explained, 👍

Proposal: change Enable Mnemonic Passpharse
to Enable Mnemonic Extension
with the button in red to be extra careful here
from bitbox-wallet-app.
Because "adding" is exactly what happens at the logical level. How it's implemented and whether that button "enables" something is a different story and I bet not every user will care about the implementation details.

There is no connection? 😅
The Show BIP39 mnemonic
button could also go to the expert mode though - it is an advanced use beyond sd card backup. I put it on top first because it belongs with Secrets
, but will reconsider.

#604 -> called Mnemonic seed
and Optional passphrase
now.
Leaving this issue open for a bit longer, as we should also include some helpful description in the guide.
from bitbox-wallet-app.
@jstrnbrg would you like to take care of the guide here?
from bitbox-wallet-app.
Also, related: #801
from bitbox-wallet-app.
@x1ddos yes :) Sorry I don't regularly check github notifications need to set up email reminders.

Bump @jstrnbrg :P
