This is really nice, it’s a bit annoying having to enter the entire recovery phrase during setup, could you just pick a few random words instead to enter?

My biggest concern with these types of apps is the security of the wallet, given everyone is rolling their own build, so personally I probably won’t put any real funds in here for some time.

You can tap on skip button in the corner but do copy it down as soon as you are able (it can be viewed again in settings screen).

Cipher uses features like the Secure Enclave chip to make things more secure, but obviously the best practice is to treat it as a hot spending wallet and use a hardware wallet to store large amounts.

Is there a way to copy the recovery password as text? I want to store it in my password manager, but typing in 20 words (correctly) passes my threshold for trying out new apps.
