Current Behavior

Currently, when users refresh the page or revisit the site, they need to:

Click "Access Wallet" button
Re-authenticate using biometrics
This creates unnecessary friction in the user experience.

Proposed Solution

Implement automatic wallet loading using IndexedDB to store the private key:

First access: Use WebAuthn for biometric authentication
After successful authentication: Store private key in IndexedDB
On page refresh/revisit:
- First attempt to load wallet from IndexedDB (no biometric needed)
- If IndexedDB fails, fallback to WebAuthn authentication

Benefits:

Seamless user experience with automatic wallet loading
Reduced authentication prompts
Maintains security with biometric fallback
