You shared the seed phrase , they can just transfer the fid and reset the recovery address, no? 

If you make the seed public they have direct control of the account and recovery onchain

why bother with recovery email and address then?

technically, if one accidentally slips the custody address seed into the public (we know this will happen), there should be a way to use recovery address and/or recovery email to recover the access

Because it helps when you lose your seed phrase? 

If you want to share account access, create an app key. 

Sharing seed phrase is a no no.

just to recap: if someone accidentally leaks their custody address seed phrase, they lose everything they have on farcaster without any way to recover?

btw i don't see this as an issue personally, and i agree with this approach 100%

just saying that in the future this might lead to problems and a way to recover even from this state should be accessible

this approach works for everything blockchain (especially finances) but doesn't translate well into social networks

e.g. a celebrity losing access because they accidentally leak the seed phrase on a twitch stream (this *will* happen)

Correct. Which is why push it to a passkey and hide it from users.

Most people just use Warpcast recovery system when they lose the Passkey. 20K+ recoveries and counting.
