I'll happily add a spending wallet, but honestly I'm just a little confused about all this. Like why do I have to enter my entire passphrase to see my wallet credentials? This seems so cumbersome

Entering a passphrase is only required when you have logged in to SN with a new device. It shouldn't be something you have to do more than once on a device. It is cumbersome, but it's a failsafe for keeping wallet access safe.

What happens if I reset my passphrase? Do I lose any sats? The warning isn't clear

you don't lose sats. resetting your passphrase deletes the info about your sending wallet. This doesn't do anything to whatever wallet you have connected, it just makes it so you can't use that wallet to spend sats on SN until you reconnect it.

Again, it's a safety measure for your spending wallets that you attach. The goal is to make sure that if someone hacks your SN account, they can't grab your spending wallet too.

which wallets are able to send? This should be clearly marked when you go to add a wallet.

great point! I've had that trouble myself. (eg. lnurl only receives, can't send).

NWC is the one that I find myself using more and more. But it's a great idea to show which can be used it which way so you don't have to click in to them to figure it out.

I do not see why you would lose any sats but I am not an expert on that- maybe @Scoresby knows?

As long as you can reset passphrase and maintain access to account it should be fine.

Correct.

Your wallet settings are password protected for obvious reasons of security and to add a sending wallet you need to verify who you are just as you would have done when you attached your receiving wallet.

The vast majority of SNs regulars have attached both sending and receiving wallets and thus actively supports SNs, LN, Bitcoin development and censorship resistance.
