Account based authority with ledger with locked wallet can't unlock wallet about anchor HOT 4 OPEN

Same is happening on macOS.

wallets in account-based authority mode do work if the "backing" account is a hot wallet with the key managed by anchor.

with ledger "backed" accounts, it's not working to unlock the wallet, regardless of the state of the Ledger Service (established connection or disabled).

Clicking the unlock button which usually unlocks all wallets, also hangs, if and only if the account based authority wallet has been selected before hand using the green "Use Wallet" button

Thanks for the detailed reports on this, we know there are some pretty annoying issues with account-based authorities. They unfortunately have never been really well supported. We will need to probably do a full pass over account-based authorities to get this all working properly.

Hi @aaroncox,
This issue has become un-circumventable recently with the removal of the "unlock all" button in the top right. In my experience, it seems it is no longer possible to sign any account based authority in Anchor, because it is now impossible to

• import an account based authority with the app in the fully unlocked state and also impossible to
• unlock the account at the signing stage (this is the bug in this open issue).

There exist no friendly UI alternatives for this in other wallets, and my team is currently discussing building a UI ourselves to handle it as this is an important functionality for using account-based authorities in multisigs for decentralized business operation on wax.

The "Unlock All" button is still in the same place it's always been, in the top right. It only shows when you have one or more "hot" wallets (ones using private keys) imported into the app. If the lock icon is not showing, then just make sure you have at least one account imported using a private key, and the control will be there.

You are welcome to contribute to and improve this functionality within Anchor if you really need it. We'd welcome the contribution, as most of our efforts are focused on SDKs in the @wharfkit project right now.
