How does one log in without using their nsec directly?
Either by using a Nostr browser extension or a nsecbunker are 2 common ways
I use nos2x: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nos2x/kpgefcfmnafjgpblomihpgmejjdanjjp There are similar plugins for firefox (but I can't recommend one). I think alby works too.
