Hardware wallet quirk bug

[danfinlay]

Setup

• Have SRP1 on a Ledger
• Have SRP2 connected on a Grid+ Lattice
• Connect SRP1 on a Grid+ safe card, and open it on the Lattice
• In MM, open "Connect to hardware wallet"
• MM shows the SRP1 accounts

Problem

• The "continue/connect" button is disabled.
• The "forget this account" button is enabled.

Possible solutions

• Allow forgetting old Ledger accounts
• Allow Adding a hardware wallet account whose account may already be in the wallet, but is being connected by a different hardware wallet.
• Longer term, we should have a multi-hw-backup friendly flow: If a user has connected an address with multiple signers, (or even if not!), during signing users should have a path to "sign with [specific hardware wallet]", so users aren't stuck using an account with the first hardware wallet it is connected with.

I have observed this with multiple hardware wallet types, where you can only forget what was previously added before you can bind a new hardware address to MetaMask.

@AlexJupiter can we confirm if this ticket is still valid? Or its already the expected behaviour like @plasmacorral mentioned above pls?

It's expected behaviour, but it's also a behaviour we should look to improving in time, however I understand that improving this is a great deal of work that we can't do right now. cc. @gantunesr
