 Does #nostr code have a way to sign in to a #nostr app without divulging #nostr private keys, like #bitcoin lightning does for users to “log in” by signing a message or the like?

#asknostr

 Yes, via browser extensions like Nos2x and Android apps like Amber. There's also nsecbunker, nsec.app

 I use Alby firefox extension to hold my nsec for me, and sign nostr events that I want signed.  Works great for everything I do on nostr, including sign-ins.

 i made this tool:

and it would be great if it  could be examined, fixed, if needed, and turned into an extension of nip-06

the protocol as it is currently is designed to make it as simple as possible to implement, even on very small embedded devices
