A seed phrase or entropy typed on the start screens is never remembered.

Switching between Create and Import, backing out of the entropy page,
signing into another account or going home all drop whatever was typed;
the entropy page always opens empty instead of refilling from an
earlier visit. Secret material is not a draft.
