Overall, it looks interesting to me. I like that in general this method can support not only metamasks, but also hardware wallets.
Is importing a wallet a must? Is it possible to link an fdp account to another wallet address (not fdp) and then log in with it? |

| For the login to work with metamask, user should already have a portable account created with [fdp-create-account](https://github.com/fairDataSociety/fdp-create-account). | ||

| As we know while creating a portable account users can provide a 12 word mnemonic phrase for the portable wallet or a 12 word mnemonic will be generated for them. |

we use portable account term for the account uploaded and encrypted in Swarm. In order to use that you only need to provide username and password

Yes, I am talking about the account creation process here.

| This solution starts with importing the portable wallet into metamask. After that it is a two-step process |

if I already imported my key into Metamask, why would I retrieve its encrypted credentials?

Metamask will not give me the seed right!? we need the credentials to get the encrypted seed.

why would I need the encrypted seed? the wallet is already imported into my wallet handler with the 12 words that you mentioned

We need the seed for pod addresses.

but you already imported the HD wallet with the 12 recovery words from which you can derive any amount of pods.

I dont think metamask has a way of importing account with mnemonic, So we use a private key to import the root private key.
I'm not familiar with a way where we can generate another account from that imported wallet.
We can allow linking fdp account with other wallets, but this will make the process confusing in the future if we want to do some kind of transaction with the fdp account wallet similar to ens registration. |
