Walletwasabi: #v1.1.12rc Upper case and order of Password and Recovery Words words

Created on 20 Jul 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi

I open this as suggested by @molnard here: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/issues/3782#issuecomment-660944973

COMMENT: The order of elements from text should be the same (1. Recovery Words 2. Password), but in the label of the checkbox is inverted ... my password and recovery words

Makes absolute sense pls create an issue with that. plus add this too: COMMENT: The Recovery Words and Password words are not first case (upper case?) in the check box.

General Description

The Password and Recovery Words words is not upper case in some places from Generate Wallet and Recover Wallet screens, so it doesn't keep the general styling.

The order in which the user has obtained and entered the information here and also in Recover Wallet is: 1st: Password, 2nd: Recovery Words:

But in the text of the Recovery Words screen is inverted:

Must be 1st: Password, 2nd: Recovery Words.

Also: Shouldn't we omit the mention to write the password here? It was already given relevance on the previous screen and could lead to users writing it along with the Recovery Words.

Wasabi Version

Release Candidate for 1.1.12 (#3782)

A different approach can be ask for the Password after getting the Recovery Words (if is technically possible).

This can be useful to users not familiar with the BIP-38, because they will understand better that the password is unique for the new wallet, and prevent them from using a global password thinking that this is for Wasabi.

The password (passphrase is better IMO) is used as a 13th word so the textbox to enter the password should be after the recovery words specially when generating a wallet.
The password textbox below the wallet name looks like it is used just to load the wallet and I think this is why users get confused and do not backup their password.

Yes! That's the direction I was pointing:

Maybe this issue can be used to the small corrections and later I can elaborate a proposal separately.
