**Description:**  
Give the user the option to import alternative derivation paths instead of defaulting it to “Ledger” type.

**Purpose:**  
The accounts I use are in the Legacy/MEW derivation path so this would allow me to import the accounts I actually use and am able to import on desktop MetaMask.

**Extension/Mobile/Both:**  
iOS
