Friendlier UI for requestSignPayload

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to authenticate users for a backend API using Beacon SDK. From what I found out, the only way to do this is to use requestSignPayload() in taquito. My problem is that Kukai wallet shows a very scary UI and even asks for the account password when doing this. It’s so scary that I believe no user would ever log in like this, thus basically making this feature unusable.

Temple, Air Gap and Spire does not make such “danger zone” warnings, they just ask for confirmation.

I agree that it would be convenient to not prompt the user for password when signing a message. But it would require changes in our key management since we don’t store the private key unencrypted in memory. We have been conservative as a precaution against XSS attacks. It’s possible we will revise the key management after we have hardened the wallet in other ways.
