Bug: Unable to view seed words for key created via hot wallet

[vicariousdrama]

The following series of events will leave a new user without the ability to see the seed words to the key

• Start with no wallets or keys
• Begin create wallet process
• Cant make a normal wallet without keys, so choose hot wallet. (wallet and key are created)
• Click on the wallet, go to its configuration, and immediately delete it.
• The key for that wallet remains, but it's seed words cannot be viewed to backup.

Any future wallet created in the application that uses this key has a risk of funds loss as recovery is not possible.

Alternatively, perform these steps

• Start with no wallets or keys
• Begin create wallet process
• Cant make a normal wallet without keys, so choose hot wallet. (wallet and key are created)
• Click on the key and delete it.
• Click on the wallet, and then attempt the backup by clicking "Do it now" at the top. You'll see the dialog where the action cannot be repeated and to make sure you are ready before proceeding. Click continue. The seed phrase screen will be blank (as the key is gone)

In my ideal world, the app would allow viewing seed words for any hot key being maintained by the app. But barring that, need to do something to avoid footguns that put funds at risk. It's way to easy to delete a key vs a wallet

Hi @vicariousdrama

Cant make a normal wallet without keys, so choose hot wallet.

Just to confirm, you mean this is the user's choice (to not create a key before creating a wallet), not a bug in the app that disallows them from doing so, correct?

[vicariousdrama]

A user has a choice to create a wallet or keys when first entering the application. The natural progression is to try to create a wallet as it is the top most option.

As we replied on Nostr, this is an edge case that only happens if you create a hot wallet, don't back it up, delete it (maybe you changed your mind), but then proceed to reuse the key from the (now deleted) hot wallet in a multisig.

As for the fix: We'll disable the delete wallet option if the hot wallet hasn't been backed up yet. Thanks for reporting!
