Need to link a number to register ( I didn't link it, and I don't put many sats there )
On this point you can actually get pretty far with a "trial account" so that you don't need a phone number. I believe the downsides are:
  • backups: account is tied to device, and there's no way to restore if you lose the device
  • limits: has lower transaction limits than if you add your phone number

It's possible to use only email like WOS, right? Suggestion to make available multiple recovery options such as:

@Lux to register an account and get beyond the "trial account", you do need a phone number. However we've added email for increased security for authentication, so once you have an account you can delete your phone and log in using email one time password.
Additional auth capabilities are in development. (like TOTP 2FA)
RE: 12 words... We've spent much time thinking about adding "vault" custodial option (even have some designs worked on with seedsigner), but the feature would be a ways off. See this blog post from @vindard https://bolt.fun/story/on-how-we-get-to-self-custodial-custodians--920
