Simplify secret recovery phrase validation #39

(note - test wallet so ignore the seeds:) nothing there) image

Right now the wallet creation requires putting all seed words back in order.. I've seen other wallets that just say enter seed alephium/desktop-wallet#4, seed alephium/desktop-wallet#5, seed alephium/desktop-wallet#10, etc.. (basically spot-checking) - a more lazy way to do this.. Might be nice to not ask for all words to be populated in order?

That's a nice idea.

It was a conscious choice to "force" users to take 3min to do this properly : most of them do it only once or twice and it's a crucial step.

What I had in mind though - and it goes in your direction - is to make the onboarding easier on mobile. We could experiment with the "spot-checking" approach there, and if this works well, eventually port it to the desktop wallet.

@mvaivre do you think this is something that we would support in the future?

Let's do what we do in the mobile wallet: provide a choice of 3 words. Remove re-ordering.
