Keeping mnemonics or private keys in the browser’s storage is not safe for a number of reasons:
The ability to obtain data by sites and applications.
Loss of data during data cleansing.
The inability to use private mode.
We need to find a way (probably chrome.fileSystem) for storing such data in encrypted form in the user's file system.
