It is almost the same case as with banking applications which send you a code via SMS to login and you can either type it with the keyboard or simply tap it number by number. If you type them you are vulnerable to keylogger infection, so it is much safer to tap them.

I think that most of us behave that way with our applications, but I don't think many people was aware of this method to write safely your seed phrase.

<...>
The idea seems nice but it still doesn't provide any security from spies. Yes, your keyboard won't know the full words but the spy can predict the remaining letter using the exact strategy you adopted or using the recovery seeds list.
The best solution is to prefer your device to any form of attack or spy and not use a mobile wallet for a huge crypto fund.

Well, the proposed one is not an infallible solution as we all know that smartphones are more vulnerable, but it's still better than nothing. Although your contribution should be appreciated.

I have come across this several times and I think this feature is in almost all the wallets I have used. I think the word phrase that are used to generate these seed phrases are known words to all these standard wallets. I use to imagine how typing just two letters of the words will pop out many words and see the one you’re actually looking for to fill in immediately.

I don’t know the connection this will have to the keyboards and how safer it is to use this method to avoid hack or scam, but it doesn’t definitely prevent anything to my understanding because of how hacking and scamming are now advance beyond what you could think of today. The idea is good and would be much better if it really helps to stop hacking into the persons computer.
Everyone is finding their way to ensure they've a smooth running operational service in the system and not indulge in complex activity that will ruined them. Today comes with promising futures and we should become stable and strive for greatness. Hacks from anonymous source will keep scouting and surfing for victims, more reason we should be careful and never doubt our chances of exploring in the system. Our private key phrases should be kept in disclosed sectors inother to prevent exposure.
I sincerely understand your concern as this has been mine as well, but the truth is that, using a smart keyboard is sure to eliminate the risk of hack or scam, so long as one is able to be consistent with their crypto currency investment and HODLing and is able to avoid saving the key words on the keypad.
Even with the memories of previous login , a private key for more than one hot wallet should be confusing enough for hackers and scammers to lay hold of.

Even if your keyboard is spying on you this will prevent it from happening.
If your keyboard is spying on you, you should not use the device.

You have no idea, what's not spying on you on smartphones this days? Even the official OS that comes with your phone is watching, if your keyboard is storing up your words you won't know mate, its just a precaution advice.

I do this often. But I do it not out of caution but out of laziness. Instead of writing a full word, if we write one or two characters, the suggestion comes from there, it is easy to select the word. And that's why I do it. But I didn't know the security involved. Thanks to the OP for alerting us. No matter how beneficial it is, there is no possibility of harm if we practice it.

I guess beginners have learned something new from this your trend, because that is the system I use to recover my seeds phrase whenever I discovered that my coins are no longer safe in my wallet.

Beginners can make it their habits, and it will help them not to be wasting their time in typing the seed phrase for long time because the alphabet will make it easy for them to select the seeds phrase words accordingly without mistake and it will help them to recover their money easily.

Ensure you always write your seed phrase down, and do everything possible to make sure they are in a safe place, so that when something bad happen to your computer, it will be easy for you to use this strategy to recover your money.

but not all wallets have this feature, moreover it is more complicated to choose various words given by the application and some viruses can spy on your screen. so it is more secure to use a separate device for your crypto wallet, iphone can be one of the recommendations for a secure device to be able to store your crypto wallet and iphone has good security against hacking.

Your concern in the device especially the keyboard is reasonable because all sources can start from there, but the keyboard is a very important part, as long as you don't use the clipboard by not copying and pasting carelessly, I think it's safe so far, because it doesn't leave a mark on any device (type manually). I often try. Even if it is possible to copy and paste because of the rush of time, it is better to type a few letters manually (for private keys) maybe 3-7 letters / numbers and phases I input manually and save on paper. Indeed, along with the times the mobile app allows random and similar choices to appear, this makes it easier but I prefer to do it manually. Indeed, the digital footprint is real especially if it has been infiltrated by irresponsible people. But it can be minimised as best as possible. because behind a busy routine certainly requires good and strong security.

You are right to worry about keeping your devices safe especially when using keyboards. But if we are careful and do not copy and paste important information it's likely safe. It is good idea to type important information like private keys yourself  even if it just few letters or numbers. While apps may offer easy options typing things ourself is better. It is true that using devices can leave trail that others can see especially if our device has been hacked. But if we are careful and take steps to keep our information safe we can reduce risk and keep our devices secure even when we are busy.

Perhaps it's a good thinking but one thing you must remember is that hijackers/scammers/hackers are one of the most intelligent people and your gesture is not what will prevent them from hijacking it.

If you  want to prevent compromise you should do your things offline and whatever hot wallet you use should be know or have the awareness that it could be targeted one day hence reduce the rate of trust or dependant on it. you can only keep a few dollars and or bitcoin in it or you should only use the for quick usage and not storing your assets for long.

You are absolutely correct, scammers can be very intelligent, smart and also cunning, if someone is not careful, we might fall into their trap.

That is why we should be very careful and also be smart, when it comes to an unknown app or any unknown link and before doing anything, we can ask questions or do research to be sure of it first and even if we are sure, we should try to invest with small amount we can afford to lose incase things doesn't fall in place as we have plan.
