A new seed phrase comes in three steps: a heads-up, the words, then one word to pick. "Reintroduce the seed phrase preamble telling users to write it down but don't give it a warning icon … an intermediary step before we display the seed phrase … instead of verify and skip buttons just have a next and another intermediate step that asks for just the 5th seed word and gives a few options to click and also a skip button" (Adam, 2026-11-07). Creating a wallet (front door, Accounts, signInAnother) now opens on a plain note, "Next you'll see your seed phrase: 12 words … Write them down on paper, in order … make sure no one is looking", with Show seed phrase; the words page has one Next; the check asks "Which one is word #5?" with four of the phrase's own words as buttons (a wrong one turns red and says "Not that one"), Skip, and Show the words again. The gift claim's new-wallet backup gets the same three steps in place of its warning box and typed three-word check, and a sign-in's "Write down your recovery phrase" shows its explanation first and the words behind Show seed phrase (Later still on both). createStep starts at 'intro'; pickConfirm returns { index, options, wrong }
