What is the best practice for handling an exposed seed phrase on NEAR Protocol?

When it's just an access key that is compromised on NEAR, it is easy to add a new key and delete the compromised one with add-key and delete-key commands.

But what if a 12-word seed phrase (eg for a wallet recovery) is compromised for an account like foo.near? How do you swap keys safely such that the account is no longer compromised (and you don't have to create a new account)?

You need to delete the account and transfer funds. Then you can create an account with the same name and the wallet will generate a new seed phrase
