Hi, could some one explain how are seedphrases considered to be super secure? If it’s just a random string of words from a well-known list of words, what stops someone with a simple python script generating random phrases and trying to open wallets with them?

    Yes, it’s less secure if they know it’s from a list, and which list.

    If they don’t know that, they have to treat it like a completely random password, which is a lot slower to crack.
