Polkadot Accounts

• Subkey and Polkadot-JS based wallets use the BIP39 dictionary for mnemonic generation, but use the entropy byte array to generate the private key, while full BIP39 wallets (like Ledger) use 2048 rounds of PBKDF2 on the mnemonic.The same mnemonic may generate different private keys on other wallets due to the various cryptographic algorithms used.
