Nice work mate but a few point to mention
First :
Handling private keys and seed phrases in plaintext is inherently risky. You stand at a very high risk if an attacker gets hold of your system.

Quote
user_variable = "test"
Using user_variable for entropy is highly risky. Assuming a user provides a weak or predictable input?. Despite introducing randomness via salting understanding the strength of the entropy greatly relies on the quality of the user input


Yes, first, i stated at the fist post to turn off the internet on the system before running the code.
And i know that if the user chooses a weak entropy it runs risk of the private key getting cracked. That's why i also stated the entropy should be a large text, mix languages, roll your face over the keyboard, all together.
