The concept of using words as the seed for you wallet is being defined at https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki. Right now, Armory has creates addresses deterministically, but (I believe) doesn't follow https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki.

My gut tells be that both of these features will likely be implemented in the same release otherwise you will run into issues. E.g. A user restores a wallet from a word-based seed on a new version of Armory. If bip-0039 is implemented first, how will Armory know to its current deterministic addresses or bip-0032 addresses.

I'd like this too. Essentially being able to use Armory as a brain-wallet.

Is there any chance of word-based wallet seeds like in Electrum? I'm really liking Armory, but I miss being able to memorize 12 words as a seed to recreate my wallet.
