Just got the question whether it’s possible in a wallet for two seed phrases to be generated and "accidentally“ be the same?
Always wanted to ask that question myself…
Answered i guess it’s theoretically possible as wallets can’t know which seeds were already generated and it’s just about probabilities. Of course the probability this happens is with 2^256 extremely low.
Is this correct?🤔
