Description
### Describe the bug
Sync with Imported account throws error.
### Expected behavior
I'm unsure if that is supported, but if it's not, then we may want to remove the Imported Accounts from the list of sync.
### Screenshots/Recordings
Extension:

### Steps to reproduce
1. Enable QR sync in both extension and mobile
2. In extension, Add a new account using PRivate Key
3. Now open the QR scan sync from settings
4. On Mobile, go through onboarding and scan the QR code
5. See account list with Wallet 1 (SRP account list ) and Imported account (with private key)
6. Select Imported account with private key (already selected)
