[Bug]: Clicking Send Shows Over 600+ Local Accounts

[darkwing]

Describe the bug

When clicking the "Send" button from the wallet home screen, the screen hangs until the Send page finally loads and suddenly there are 600+ accounts in my MetaMask. The 600+ accounts persist when opening the Accounts Menu as well.

Expected behavior

There should only be the few accounts I had created in the first place.

CC @MetaMask/notifications to look into. We have turned off account sync for V12.6.0, this should not appear for this version. We are undergoing QA to ensure that this feature is working as intended.

Qs:

1. Is the SRP used an account shared by other teams?

   • If so then there may have been performance tests done by other teams of adding multiple accounts and this was synced. Meaning as a user who is importing this SRP, of course you would retrieve all the synced accounts - so is functioning as intended.

2. If not, then we need to investigate and ensure that we aren't arbitrarily adding accounts you have not synced!
