  • What is the current behavior and expected behavior?

Current: All accounts created are of SR25519 Keypair Type https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-keys Expected: Ability to choose Keypair type while creating the account.

  • What is the motivation for changing the behavior?

Current workaround - creating accounts on https://polkadot.js.org/apps/ and downloading their json backup, then importing in extension. Takes too long. Better tot be able to choose this type in the extension. This type needed to encrypt-decrypt information with account seeds.

The extension is really meant to be simple - the amount of support that we have to deal with elsewhere since users have the ability to choose is not worth it here.

This really is by design in this specific instance.
