Why does keepkey only generate 12 words?

⚠️ SECURITY ALERT: KeepKey does NOT provide phone support. If you are on the phone with someone claiming to be from KeepKey, they are a SCAMMER!

TL:DR …… Nop, not better

Quote:
“after a lot of conversation and review from experts it turns out the amount of entropy used for generating wallets is 128 bits, so an extended privkey like a 24 word mnemonic beyond 128 bits is all just wasted entropy.”
So longer phrases simply do nothing of value and simply waste your time entering them into a hardware wallet. That is why we recommended all our users use a 12-word seed and only allow our devices to generate them.

(ps. you can however restore a 24-word seed into a keepkey so feel free to migrate your ledger recovery phrases into your keepkey in a pinch :) )
