 My nsec key will never be put in any client or used to make an account.. 

Remember your nsec key is like the email and password to your bank or any account so why give that to any client or app 

Protect your nsec key like your life depends on it..  
 How do you sign into clients for nostr? 
 One client. And only when there is an update I update punch in my nsec and tgats it.. but I only use amethyst and log in when I do an update if not I'm always logged in  
 Ah i see someone else already asked the same question as me. 😂 
 Hi 👋 
 Is it though? It's important, but not bank account important. It's not a bitcoin private key. You should still be vigilant, but it's not the exact same thing here. 
 I mean if you want to be the only one in control of your nostr account right.. haha so if it's not important Derek send me your nsec key 😎😎😎🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 
 I've entered my nsec into half a dozen Android clients. On the web, I use nos2x or Alby. I still haven't used nsecbunker, but plan on doing so. I have it running and play around with it a bit. Again, I'm not saying it's not important, and I look forward to the Amber signing app for Android one day. 
 This nsec private key thing is the best thing here haha 😄  
 Hi 👋 
 Hi 👋 
 I see where your coming from and agree but also like that we can bring our profile to other clients if done right with extension’s no nsec key will be revealed this is what will kill all other social media’s the people now hold there own data!!! Thx #Nostr 
 Hi 👋 
 How else does one use Nostr? Genuine question. I don’t like the idea of putting in my key, but that’s the only way to sign in. 
 I've only used amethyst and only use my nsec to sign in when I update amethyst. That is it.. every other client I've tried out with a fresh nsec key
