Ask for a way back in once, and only when there's money to lose. "Let's only prompt to add a way back in after there's some balance and only if we haven't prompted before" (Adam, 2026-11-15). A sign-up's wallet no longer carries the reminder line from its first minute. The first time it holds anything (Spending, Savings or an incoming payment) and has no way back in yet, it shows one notice: 'You have bitcoin in here now. Add a way back into your account, in case you lose this device.' with Add one (→ Settings → Wallet) and Not now. That's recorded on the account as soon as it shows (directory and synced snapshot too), so it stays for that visit and never comes back, here or on another device. Seed wallets opened by sign-in keep their old phrase reminder. signup-quick-test: nothing on an empty account; given a Spending balance it asks; Not now; not again after a reload
