BIP39 passphrase ignored about airgap-vault HOT 4 CLOSED

I just tested this by creating 2 separate accounts with the same mnemonic. The mnemonic I used was

abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about

Checking with the BIP39 tool, I get the same result.

Your flow is slightly different, I'll try some other combinations to reproduce it. Are you sure the account you had before re-importing the wallet was actually the one with the BIP39 passphrase?

Thanks! And sorry, I retract my issue. I mistook the passphrase one can optionally enter directly after writing down the secret/mnemonic for a BIP39 optional passphrase. Don't know if anyone else is confused by that or just me. I looked through the documentation but couldn't find a detailed description of what the various passphrases exactly do. Anyway, love your app and will keep using it!

Our new documentation has an FAQ entry regarding the different passphrases. The new documentation is still work in progress, so it's currently hard to find. But you can read about the differences here: https://support.airgap.it/FAQ#what-is-the-difference-between-a-secret-seed-phrase-recovery-key-and-password

But thank you for your report. We are aware that the different passwords and passphrases can be confusing. We need to find a way to make it clear what their purpose is for users that are new to our apps.
