Description

If you display the SeedQR and leave it displayed for a longer period of time, it burns itself into the display. And in some cases ithe seed can be restored even though the device has been switched off and the seed forgotten.

After drwaing the SeedQR, the Specter DIY should be checked at this point to see if the QR code has been burned in. After further use, the slightly burned-in QR code will disappear again.

One solution would be to install a timer which, for example, moves the QR code on the display by a few pixels up and down to the left and right every 30 seconds when the seed phrase is drawn, so that the QR code cannot burn into the screen.
