Oddbean new post about login | logout How do you recommend people to manage their nsecs? Where to create them? Where to store them? Have my own ideas but I'm trying to figure out what is the sufficiently-secure but also convenient model to not overwhelm newcomers. #asknostr
nsec is the same as username. If you can't come up with a name for yourself, just put nsec there.
I might not have understood the note 🤔
Create https://github.com/grunch/rana Sign https://github.com/ursuscamp/nostore
I didn't know nostore. Do you use it on an iPhone?
Yes, iOS and MacOS
Amber is great on Android. Shows the keys are separate from the client and the protocol from the beginning whilst stroll being user friendly.
This is my go to for now. What about storing longer term?
No entiendo muy bien, amber es como si firmara mi acceso a Amethyst? , y están separados pero podrían hackear mi android y ver mi nsec en Amber??
Sí, Amber es un firmante remoto (local). Piense en ello como una billetera de hardware bitcoin en su teléfono. Amber almacena las claves en el elemento seguro del teléfono, por lo que es seguro a menos que alguien tenga acceso a su teléfono desbloqueado. También puede agregar un desafío biométrico adicional dentro de la aplicación.
Password manager or extension should be enough
Extension meaning something like alby? About Password manager, a local one?
Yes alby or nos2x. Local pw manager should be fine.
Noted. ty!
Create nsec with Amber, write down seed phrase, only connect to clients that support Amber/nip46.
Thanks 🙂
I save my nsec in my secure vault in bitwarden.com and I have a copy in the saved messages in Telegram for convenience 🤷♂️
My stomach can tolerate bitwarden for nsec but not Telegram I would not use that
I understand, but i am in the process of tryings new Nostr clients, and it is too engorroso 🙄 to open bitwarden too often 🤷♂️
Use an explorer extension or amber in android
No entiendo, por qué?
Telegram no está cifrado. Eso significa que los servidores de TG están viendo tu nsec. No necesitas usar todo el rato bitwarden. Con Amber o las extensiones de navegador es muy cómodo
To save it, we can use a pencil and white paper
