What can be done is showing the new signing phrase during the second onboarding. @yevh-berdnyk WDYT?

This should be fixed before next release that will include mainnet

Signing phrase is randomly generated for security reason. It can't be deterministic as otherwise third party could generate it.

So this is not possible (and expected to be this way).
