the chat app Signal makes you set a PIN for account recovery and, every once in a while, it shows a popup that basically says "we're testing to make sure you remember your PIN

i wonder if people would stop losing their seeds if every once in a while, the wallet had a popup that said "what's your 15th word?"

*yes, this has issues with the seed then having to be stored locally for checks

*yes, people would probably be even more irresponsible with storage

* serial BE developer
* higher rank in Tae Kwon Do than Vladimir Putin
* always down for a good buffalo chicken wrap

absolutely! Signal's is basically just a kind of annoying popup. You can dismiss it but it continues to popup until you answer it, then it disappears for some period of time (two months? I don't pay enough attention)

Definitely want to make it a nonblocking exercise. If I'm out and about and don't have access to the secured storage of my seed phrase, I'd not want to be blocked from transacting.

That said, it'd be a good way to exercise recovery process viability.

I think I've seen this done somewhere... Maybe it was just in a mockup.
