Choosing your own passphrase is not a standardized way of ensuring a secure wallet, entropy ✅. Creating two seeds with proper methodology provides peace of mind and redundancy. Tbh 3of3 is even better if you want to geographically separate your seeds between 3 secure locations with backups. For ex, you have 3 safety deposit boxes: You keep: Seed1 & Seed2 in Box A. Seed2 & Seed3 in Box B. Seed1 & Seed 3 in Box C. Backups: Seed1 exists 2x in both Boxes A&C Seed2 exists 2x in Box A&B Seed3 exists 2x in Box B&C Scenarios: Box A becomes corrupted. - Seed1,2,3 exists in Boxes B&C Funds are safe ✅ Box B burns to the ground. - Seed 1,2,3 exists in Boxes A&C Funds are safe ✅ Box C gets robbed. -Seed 1,2,3 exists in Boxes A&B Funds are safe ✅

You're wrong if you have multiple backups, which should be a given, there is no single point of failure. Always make multiple backups. singlesig, multisig, doesn't matter you need multiple backups. 3of3 is actually incredibly awesome. View quoted note →
Basically the passphrase isn’t as secure as a second seed. If I wanted to roll dice for words that had entropy compared to a seed it would be burdensome to enter. Rather having a second seed (or third in your example) is better entropy and security. Have a 2 of 2 or 3 of 3 mitigates needing the descriptor file. I’m been thinking a lot more recently about custody and a 2 of 2 or 3 of 3 isn’t really talked about out much, it’s mostly just 2 of 3 or 3 of 5.

Standardized security is a myth created by NSA-backed crypto firms like Coinbase to control your keys.
