[Bug]: Onboarding - Reloading the page on the Confirm Secret Recovery Phrase leaves it as a 1 empty word and cannot do any action

Open seaona opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug

If I refresh the browser when I'm on the Confirm Secret Recovery Phrase I get stuck in this page and cannot perform any action. I see 1 empty input. The only option is to click the Reload button from the Extension page.

This may be a side effect of a previous security PR to clear password from memory. We should investigate how/if we can even restore the UI once there's a refresh, or if we should take another strategy

Plausable solution could be to make the user start onboarding over again since the generated SRP would've been cleared from memory
