the total non-recoverability of keypair passphrases is a little rough for user experience. Probably the biggest reason people lose private keys is because they lose the device it's on, or the filesystem gets wiped. We could copy encrypted private keys for every device to every other device in their device network. Any UI built on top of this library should encourage users to add many devices to prevent key loss.
