I thought this too, but apparently not. `quill` might still be a better tool for this particular task though.

> I think I misinterpreted the keysmith README as “please migrate to quill”. I also didn’t realize that both tools seem to support using an existing seed phrase to derive a key. As you pointed out, keysmith can use that same seed phrase to derive multiple keys, which might appeal to people who have already securely backed up a phrase. I did find this issue about certain phrases not being supported though: [compatibility with identity.ic0.app seed phrase? · Issue #23 · dfinity/keysmith · GitHub](https://github.com/dfinity/keysmith/issues/23)
