Seed phrases vs Password
February 13th, 2025

Seed phrases have traditionally been used for cryptocurrency wallet recovery, offering strong security by allowing users to access their funds across devices. However, they can be cumbersome because users must record and securely store lengthy sequences of words.

Given the widespread use of passwords for securing digital activities, Mybucks.online proposes generating a crypto wallet using a password and a one-way hash function. This approach allows users to generate a private key from a password instead of memorizing a long seed phrase.

The main threat to this system is from malicious attackers who may attempt brute-forcing or rainbow attacks. Consequently, significant attention was given to selecting an appropriate one-way hash function. The chosen Scrypt hash function is an industry standard, non-reversible, and consumes high computational resources, making brute-forcing impractical.

This method offers several advantages. It is user-friendly, as users only need to remember a password  for frequent wallet access. The security is enhanced using the Scrypt Key Derivation Function, which protects against brute-force attacks. Privacy is maintained since everything operates locally in the browser without involving third-party data storage or APIs.

Furthermore, no information is stored during sessions; refreshing or closing the browser leaves no trace. Mybucks.online is particularly beneficial for those who frequently manage crypto assets and value quick, hassle-free access. It is ideal for users prioritizing privacy since all processes occur client-side, with no external data dependencies.
