Why not use a seed phrase for recovery?

Using a seed phrase for recovery can have its drawbacks due to human error. We understand the importance of minimizing any potential vulnerabilities in security, not just in terms of hackers exploiting them.

Typically, a seed phrase is advised to be written down on paper and stored in a safe place. However, think about the possibilities if that piece of paper gets lost. What if there's a fire, a burglary, or your partner accidentally throws it away while cleaning?

In such cases, your recovery option would be gone! Human error has proven to be one of the most significant security flaws throughout history, and we believe you shouldn't have to deal with the stress and uncertainties it brings when managing your crypto
