thanks for both your reply
I will generate a new wallet with new seed and then move funds.
In the meantime I will study a bit more passphrase option Grin

A passphrase creates a new wallet. In a sense, a passphrase is sort-of like having a 2 of 2 multisig, since the wallet can only be accessed with both parts, the seed and the passphrase. The danger is that if you lose either part, you lose your coins, so your passphrase needs to be precise. I'm a fan of using 7 words or more with a space between each, all lowercase except for things that should be capitalized, like names.

Here's a video about how to choose a strong passphrase by Crypto-Guide. The whole video is worth watching, but I'm linking to the part where he talks about how many words to use in a passphrase.

Crypto-Guide's youtube channel is fantastic. Zero hype. Just quality info. I'm shocked his videos don't get tons more views. His stuff is among the best of the best for Bitcoin.
