Support "Groups of Accounts" #143

Open danfinlay opened 5 years ago

danfinlay commented 5 years ago

Some users would like to connect to multiple seed phrases, or multiple hardware wallets, each of which can control/add its own sub-accounts.

Visually representing these groups of accounts intuitively would be necessary to implement some features, like https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/issues/6649#issuecomment-524575505.

Internally to the code we call these "keys" and "keyrings". Keys are a type of account, but there are also other types of accounts (which may interact with the other keys, like for a multi-sig contract account).
