Better UIUX for restoring a hot wallet and its address labels #1934

Open moneymanolis opened 1 year ago

moneymanolis commented 1 year ago

You can restore a hot wallet by just reentering the BIP 39 mnemonic and if you had labels you can simply import the labels via the Specter json file. This process is not explicit anywhere, there should be more guidance in the UI for the user to know about this process.

Relevant places for this UI
