Your Electrum Wallet Seed May be Stored in Plaintext and Exposed!

Until there is a fix to the default mode, use electrum restore ? to restore from seed. The question-mark at the end forces Electrum to prompt for the seed text instead, which is much safer. As currently written, average users may not be aware of the security risk. Electrum developers are aware of this issue and will hopefully have a fix soon.
