Your use case

image

This screen is confusing users:

  • Non legible, people aren't reading walls of text
  • Scanning the labels misleads into inputting your old passphrase, when it's asking for a new one
  • Easy to confuse with your account password, which, ironically would work on input

Have you considered any alternatives?

No response

Additional context

Thanks for raising @arthursinclair! Brief internal discussion:
