Unable to login using existing universal profile

[richtera]

When using the universal profile extension on a new machine only "create profile" shows as an option. There is no indication or instructions on how to use a previous universal profile used on another machine or another browser. The authentication email seems to work with a website using universal profiles but there is no good explanation how this relates to the browser extension.

The universalprofile.cloud website is showing profiles on L14, the browser extension is a DEVELOPER PREVIEW and not intended for normal use and deploys profiles on L16, which are two separate networks.

Sure that's a given. The problem is that the extension only allows creation of new profiles on new machines or browsers. There is no way to just create the private public key and then allow on to give access to the profile from the original device it was created on

The RPC call up_import https://docs.lukso.tech/standards/rpc-api#up_import will allow user to load an existing UP.
We are improving the flow so we can allow users to enter this information directly in the extension.
