Oddbean new post about login | logout @The Fishcake🐶🐾
Because that’s how we have had accounts in the beginning, where nostr authentication was added later. This also serves as a second layer of protection if you lose your nsec or if it gets compromised. 🐶🐾🫡
Alright, so that's technical debt is what you're saying. Please consider changing this. I don't want to deal with my password manager in the nostr world. Password managers are a symptom of a broken system, and imho #nostr fixes this.
Use the other login option. Don't need a password.

It’s not passwords, it’s “users”. You are not an owner, that’s why you have to register
we have had EC PKI for over a decade now, it is time to move on, i agree a keychain like this literally only has to be a few keys which you segregate for purposes or alts there is already public registries of these keys but honestly the state of PKI is still pretty bad, and you would have to be silly to have me believe that pgp is fine, if it was then explain why it's becoming very common to use SSH for git repo auth? i wouldn't say it's a symptom of a broken system so much as a failure of tech companies to care about security, which should be considered to be suspicious that's worse than broken, that's corrupt
