<p>I would like to be able to generate a new seed phrase using:</p>
<pre><code>cardano-wallet recovery-phrase generate
</code></pre>
<p>...and use that for a new wallet, but do it offline. So the seed phrase is never onscreen on a network connected machine and only ever recorded on paper.</p>
<p>Is there a documented procedure for doing this?</p>

I would like to be able to generate a new seed phrase using:
cardano-wallet recovery-phrase generate

...and use that for a new wallet, but do it offline. So the seed phrase is never onscreen on a network connected machine and only ever recorded on paper.
Is there a documented procedure for doing this?
