A good number.

How many people want us to be able to steal/breach their money and read their private messages?

Also if you lose the passphrase, but one device is still connected, you can reset device sync on that device without data loss.

Any reason we can't choose our own passphrase?

You're more likely to choose a weak one than not. I can create an issue if you want to produce the passphrase or entropy yourself.

Okay, thats not too bad then. Most people have at least two devices on, right?

I'd guess on average multi-device people have a desktop/laptop and a phone. Many people just use one device though I'd guess.

This should encourage some to use two. Just in case the unimaginable happens.

I know, everyone wants the privacy until they cant figure out why its not working. I just think it will be a headache on your end.

I'd rather have many small headaches that aren't my fault but we work really hard to prevent than a bullet to the brain.

Right, less that can fall back on you is good.
