The passphrase gets a page of its own in the create flow, between the words and the check. "The add passphrase button is too small … maybe it should get its own separate prompt screen with explainer of what it is and letting people know it's optional but recommended. we don't need a 'show previous screen' link on verify page because there's already a back button. 'Have an existing seed or entropy to import?' can go away once the seed is displayed" (Adam, 2026-11-07). New wallets go heads-up → words (Copy, Next) → "Add a passphrase?" (an extra secret on top of the 12 words; optional but recommended; write it down with the seed, nobody can reset it), with the field, its confirmation once typed, and one button that reads "Continue without one" until something is typed, then Next; a mismatch is caught there and clears once the fields agree → "Which one is word #5?". The page's own Back now steps through those (check → passphrase → words → heads-up, keeping what was typed) on the first-run and "Sign into another account" pages, so the check drops "Show the words again"; the classic card, which has no Back of its own, keeps one. "Have an existing seed or entropy to import?" shows only on the heads-up (and its "create instead" twin on the import page). The import pane's Add passphrase is a full-width button. passFields() split out of optionsPanel
