You have the option to transition your Metamask-created Lite account to an FDP Portable account. This transition enables you to utilize a username/password combination to access your data from mobile devices or other devices where Metamask isn't installed. Your Lite account will be connected with your new Portable account. During this transition process, you'll be given a new mnemonic. It's crucial to note this down and keep it in a secure location, as it will serve as your mnemonic for your Portable account recovery.
Your Metamask account is only used to sign a message and is safe. Do NOT provide keys, passphrases, mnemonics to anyone for your Metamask account.
