Self-explanatory as to feature. Would be nice to be able to optionally protect seed viewing with a password in the client.

Well the db encryption prevents the server from starting without the correct password.

DB encryption is not the same as password protecting the seed from being read on the client.

@hoffmabc @jjeffryes Given the client has free access to the seed string during runtime, what server requirements do you believe there are here? How would this interaction work? Priority?

I think this is kind of what we were discussing on the web version about encrypting the seed phrase with a password like MetaMask does. The client would require a password client side and the server would just return the encrypted seed phrase. The password would decrypt it client side to show the user.
