encrypting seed phrase with a password

[Saint-loup]

You must be sure to be able to find and use the same software with the same version, even in several years when you will need to decipher your seed phrase otherwise you won't be able to access it.

And to try several different softwares using it to decipher your secret, to be sure there is no bug into the encryption program.
