do I use a passphrase?

The benefit of a passphrase is you can write the 12 words down or store in password manager but omit the passphrase and keep that as 'brainwallet'

That doesn't mean a wallet is more secure. You just add complexity that I can easily achieve with other simple methods.

That doesn't mean a wallet is more secure.

How do you figure? I could give you 12 words to a wallet, but without the passphrase (ie. 13th word) you won't be able to access the private keys?

So what? I can give you 11 words and not the 12th one. Is that more secure? No! Is absolutely the same shit.

Guessing a missing word from the wordlist is trivial since its a 1/2048 guess. However, Passphrases are not one of the words from the wordlist. They can be anything.

You could use "My Name Is DarthCoin! My Favorite Number is 21,000,000" as a passphrase.

again, you are speculating. that doesn't mean is more secure.

Its not speculation, it does make it more secure.

Here is a wallet for you:

robust own donate other small can prize essence source setup visual similar

I put 100,000 sats in it for you. Its yours (or anyone's) if you can guess the passphrase.

Any clue? 😅

again, adding a new word it doesn't mean is more secure for guessing.

Same as with my cats, please find the words...

complexity it doesn't mean more security

are you saying youd do the same as @freetx just did, and provide us 11 of the 12 seed phrase words in correct order to a wallet with btc in it?
