Walletwasabi: Seed needs to be verified

[2pac1]

Hi,

What I suggest is that seeds needs to be entered manually by user, each word, and password as well. Until this has been done, use SHOULD NOT BE ABLE to start the wallet or get to receiving addresses > now this is the case where you can get to receiving addresses without you verifying password.

What you describe is a common flow in most wallets that we don't want to imitate. As a Wasabi user you are free to backup your seed or not, Wasabi team assumes users have the ability to judge what is better for themselves and backup the seed it they think that's what they should do. I made the same suggestion time before simply because that's what other wallets do even when I personally hate when a wallet software forces me to do it: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/issues/1128

Now you have option to mistype password and proceed to the wallet just by
closing it and starting it again

You should re-enter everything again, seed and password

If we want users to be safe..

Everyone has the right to be stupid. Our users are not children and I am not their father.
