Description
### Describe the bug
Description
While logging in to MetaMask, the loading screen takes an unusually long time to proceed. The login UI remains stuck for several seconds before unlocking or prompting the next step. This creates a slow and inconsistent onboarding experience.
Steps to Reproduce
->Open the MetaMask extension.
->Enter the password to unlock the wallet.
->Observe that the loader spins for an extended period before completing.
Expected Behavior
MetaMask should unlock quickly (within a normal/expected duration). The loading spinner should not hang for multiple seconds.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the unlock flow in the MetaMask extension on Chrome/Linux with version 13.10.4, following the listed password and loading-screen steps. Measure when the loader starts and finishes and inspect the unlock path for the source of the delay. Done means the wallet proceeds without an unusually long loading period and the behavior is verified against the reported environment.
