A user can theoretically set their primary public key to any derivation path, but we can only provide a fixed set of recovery paths to search for the primary public key.
One potential way of dealing with this is storing the account index of the primary key on the server so we know where to search, but the address_index is still unbounded.
Store the complete derivation path which doesn't seem great.
We could store the account and address_index, but that is effectively the same as storing the complete path.
