[REQUEST] Auto-fill Seed Words

Open r4v3r23 opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

importing wallet via 25 word seed takes much longer since we need to spell out every word and is prone to typos, having a dropdown menu with possible words as we spell them out would be much faster and leave less room for error

interesting. we will investigate! @anhdres @Baltsar

in the meantime - did you know that you only need to enter the first three letters of each (english) word?

Something like this is on the to-do list, alongside with a possible quick tap-from-options or tap-in-order seed verification

Being able to type a portion of each word and completing with a tap instead of typing the entire word provides a privacy benefit: preventing keylogging keyboards from logging entire seed phrases.

no it doesn't, as you only need to type the first 4 letters of every word anyway.

@m2049r ^^^ the first 4 letter trick doesn't seem to work on ledger seed convert, since using only the first 4 letters vs using full word creates 2 different wallets

Maybe typing just the first one and then choosing between a reduced set could be an interesting middle ground to explore.
