Why am I required to have an account? (esp with hardware wallets) #13043

Closed NullVoxPopuli closed 2 years ago

Describe the bug

I do not want a separate account -- it's an address I never use, I've lost the private key already (because I don't care). For best UX, why not allow "just hardware wallet" support? I opened a similar issue for the Temple wallet here: https://github.com/madfish-solutions/templewallet-extension/issues/485

Steps to reproduce (REQUIRED)

  1. Have no prior account
  2. Try to connect Ledger wallet to uniswap
  3. Open metamask
  4. be forced to create a throw-a-way account and be asked a bunch of questions that are irrelevant, because the account won't be used.

Expected behavior I should "just" be able to use my ledger
