The extension wallet allows you to import keys on first setup, but doesn't allow you to import keys for additional accounts after. Tested on Chrome 0.62. I also tested removing extention/re-install and the welcome screen does indeed give a way to import the wallet seeds - just not for new accounts.

Welcome screen (option to import is there) -

New account screen (missing option) -

@diomark @sven-hash Right now, the extension wallet only supports a single wallet, which is the practice adopted by major browser wallets (meta mask, Argent-X) as I have seen.

The reason is probably that:

  1. the UI of the browser wallet is small, so the wallet is designed as simple as possible.
  2. browser wallet is usually used with hardware wallet. In that case, one could import different hardware wallets just inside the same single wallet
