At the time of this writing, EOS does not yet support BIP39 Mnemonic phrase for keys generation.
EOS BIP39 support is planned and upcoming, (see here), for now a workaround is to:
- Use a 12 word phrase to create Ethereum addresses
- Convert those ETH address to EOS addresses.
The command line node wallet.js script in this github repo makes this simple and easy.
