Description
## PROBLEM
Phishing scams are convincing users to give away their recovery phrase and resulting in a loss of funds.
## DESCRIPTION
How might we improve the "Reveal Recovery Phrase" designs within settings to communicate the risks to users?
## IDEAS
* Append DO NOT SHARE to beginning of recovery phrase
* Add a "Are you sure" warning to add additional friction (see [Warning acknowledgment](https://www.figma.com/file/aWgwMrzdAuv9VuPdtst64uuw/MetaMask-Design-System?node-id=4123%3A3544) in design system)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Settings > Reveal Recovery Phrase flow and review the linked Warning acknowledgment design in the MetaMask Design System. Define how the experience should communicate phishing and recovery-phrase risks, then confirm that the resulting design adds the intended warning or friction before considering the work complete.
