I've never really understood seed phrases, except for use in reducing error for physical backups (or memorization). These are not things people do for nostr keys. For every other situation, copy/paste from a password manager exists, which is actually _more_ familiar to new users, particularly to people who use password managers with strong passwords.

I mostly like it for being able to add a passphrase that could be stored separately. I only said noobs because they don’t have a key pair yet. I eventually realized I could just store my ncryptsec instead of nsec in my password manager. This way you’re not totally rekt if you accidentally paste the value from your password manager into something.

Also, way easier to write down if you don’t want to keep it stored digitally
