Describe the Problem

I'm seeing derived index wallets (via n or a defined path) are different to rabby. Also confirmed when using coinbase wallet.

Any ideas why?

I found this post relating to the different standards. I tried passing in the derived path from the utility function and it throws an error in the wallet.derivePath method

Yes, this is a point of confusion, as the standard left it open to interpretation (with respect to how Ethereal uses "accounts") and have various security trade-offs between the two, so different parties preferred one security model to the other. But it sucks.

There are two different methods, depending on the standard you wish to compute the path of:

• getAccountPath; used by Ledger
• getIndexedAccountPath; used by MetaMask

If you figure out which Rabby vs. Coinbase use, can you update this issue and I'll add those to the docs to indicate which to use for each wallet.

Thanks! :)
