Walletwasabi: Refactor Wallet Generation

Created on 9 Apr 2020 · 3Comments · Source: zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi

The current Wallet Generation UX is a mess.

the recovery words are in one line
the button is jarring red and text barely readable
button doesn't look like a button

I propose a minor refactoring, to hopefully make it a bit more pretty. This might even come before the major UX redesign.

Change Password warning

You cannot recover your wallet without your password. Therefore we strongly advise you to use a password that you will not forget.

This is long - and actual bad advice. It should be a secure password, not a memorable one.

Change to:

Heads Up! You always need the password to spend your bitcoin. Use a secure password and back it up.

Maybe add a link to the documentation on password best practices

Keep title of recovery words

Write down these Recovery Words! is a good title, and I think it should be kept. It is clear what the following words are - the backup, and there is a call to action with what to do - writing them down.

Display recovery words with numbers and in a table

1] tell    2] shallow   3] pulp

4] merry   5] approve   6] assist 

7] magnet  8] hello     9] orient

10] hour   11] swim    12] describe

The numbering makes for easy order recognition, and the parts of three make for easy backup writing

Change warning

You can recover your wallet on any computer with
- your Recovery Words AND
- your Password.

this seems a bit wordy.

Change to:

You need BOTH the Recovery Words AND the Password to recover your wallet.

Change button

There should be a checkbox with I wrote down my password and recovery words [similar to how T&C were done], and then there should be another button next to it with Complete Wallet Generation or Continue.
