The maximum size of the password index before encountering issues with Nostr backups is unknown. Additionally, the security of memory management and logs has not been thoroughly evaluated and may pose risks of leaking sensitive information. - **Multiple Seeds Management:** While managing multiple seeds adds flexibility, it also increases the responsibility to secure each seed and its associated password. +- **No PBKDF2 Salt Required:** SeedPass deliberately omits an explicit PBKDF2 salt. Every password is derived from a unique 512-bit BIP-85 child seed, which already provides stronger per-password uniqueness than a conventional 128-bit salt. ## Contributing
