Description

### Feature description

Currently if you fail to connect to your node, the only option you have is to delete the account and retry from scratch. This is not user-friendly as you need to re-input fields.

A user also reported that the wrong account was deleted. I am not sure if anyone else has had this issue.

### Describe the solution

Allow the existing account to be edited, or don't create an account until the connection is confirmed

### Describe alternatives

_No response_

Research direction

Start by locating the failed connection screen and the account creation and deletion flow in the browser extension, then reproduce a failed node connection. Done means users can edit the existing account or account creation is deferred until the connection is confirmed, without deleting the wrong account.
