Amber, the remote signer app, now allows you to create new keys witha. 12 word seed phrase for backing up. It's a great feature. I wonderbif that could be incorporated in to the create account flow on Plume.website rather than it creating a set of keys locally which has to then be saved elsewhere. That's a pain point that we could do without.

I've opted for key sharding. 2of3 + email address required for recovery.
That way storing one of the shards poses no risk.
Nsec.app will let you sign for an account an it encrypts the nsec locally on device but stores an encrypted ncryptsec in the cloud for remote signing (bunker) functionality.
You can then use something like the nip-49 offline decryptor that I made if you ever need to retrieve the nsec https://btcforplebs.com/nip49-decrypt/
In the latest version?
You can use something like this https://github.com/coracle-social/nonboard
I think that that's a really handy tool, however for non techy newcomers I wonder if it's a bit confusing
Where have you implemented it? I'd like to check that out. I'd prefer to avoid storing anything on the server if possible, but people do need a method which they're kind of used to and email is part of their standard flow.
I might have to look through this option in a bit, I've put something together which I'll test later but if it doesn't work, this may be the way forward.
It's part of something I'm still working on that I haven't released anywhere.
I do agree though, there needs to be less friction for people to be able to recover their key which is likely to get lost by many.
I've backed up this next but there's no guarantees. I wish the seed phrase option or something else had been available when I created these keys.
You could definitely build something to shard your keys even after the fact, I imagine creating a seed phrase could be achieved too.
