 Is nostr-login the same as login to your client with private key? 
 so like alby and nos2x?

about time some more options 
 Yes but not browssr extension based, which is a problem on some mobile browsers. 
 well, i think there should be some kind of mobile app for this anyway, i remember some time back suggesting the idea of building out a VPN style plugin that includes a signer... could actually be part of a VPN service system (ie, wireguard) that actually also protects your physical location for you 
 I use the same key, but technically the difference is that you store your key in a bunker (I use nsec.app, a bunker running in your browser) and the website communicates with that bunker, instead of you having to insert your nsec to some website. If you use the nsec, Noogle stores private keys only locally, but in general it's a bad practice to insert your keys on websites, so a signer is always to prefer. You can also use a nip46 bunker address, a browser extension etc. also see the video in the replies about the signer. 
 Nostr-login is just a library that you can drop into your app to support many nostr login options - it supports nip07 (extension), nip46 (remote signing/nsecbunker) - using nip05 address and bunker url, read-only login with nip05 or npub. Also account switching is in the works.
