@DDvO from the above log, it looks like you tried to validate your recovery code and made the app crash. somehow it received 13 instead of 12 words. do you have a way to reproduce this crash?

[DDvO]

I just tried reproducing this, manually re-doing backup two times.
The two new logs do no more contain "Error: 13 is an invalid word count."
And on further tries, where for the third one "Backup my files" was enabled, I immediately just get "Backup failed".

Really weird how a word count other than 12 could came up. In particular since the word count cannot be influenced by the user.

@grote To reproduce, just add one more space after any word then Verify.

This is very easy to happen, especially if you use Gboard, tapping any candidate word automatically adds one more space.

Thanks so much @UjuiUjuMandan, that's really helpful!
