When bridging from Harmony to ETH (Harmony to BSC), the recipient input field must be limited to hex address only. Currently it allows entering one address and automatically converts to hex address. This is dangerous. The bridged tokens may end up in hex addresses (on ETH or BSC) for which the user does not hold the access. Note that, harmony decodes hex address using a different derivation path (from mnemonic) than what ethereum does or other blockchain does.
