Why You Should Never Store Cryptocurrency Seed Phrases in Plain Text

chaintuts (51)in STEMGeeks • 2 years ago

My Python project SeedScanner demonstrates why you should never store a seed phrase in plain text (unencrypted). It's trivial to scan files and pull out seed phrases with some code. Obviously, do not use these demo seeds as anyone could steal your coins :)
