Adding passphrase changes the private key. So when adding a passphrase you basically get a new wallet. You can have unlimited number of passphrases to a seed phrase. Each would be a separate wallet. The big advantage is if you store your seedphrase separately from your passphrase, if someone finds the your steel plates with your seedphrase he won’t have access to your funds.

I appreciate your detailed response gentlemen, It's crystal clear.

Here's the point I'd like to expand on if you don't mind:

1. A seed phrase + passphrase = a completely new master private key (xpriv) and thus new child keys, correct?

2. If the master private key of a seed phrase+passphrase is leaked, the extra protective step of the passphrase is useless, correct?

I'm asking because I want to decide about backing up the xpriv of a seed+passphrase wallet.
