Oddbean new post about login | logout Nsec IS your nostr private key.
For some reason when I past my private key into primal it’s asking for a nsec?
It might be in hex format though. https://damus.io/key
True! Forgot some clients still want a hex.
Thanks for that but it’s not changing anything.
Sorry friend. Does your private key not start with the letters nsec?
No sir. It begins with an ‘f’.
Try this one and paste in the bottom box.

Ok, so that changed my private key to the npub.
Change npub to nsec and see if it works in your client.
How do I change the npub to a nsec? lol
I mean just backspace those letters out and type nsec at the beginning.
That doesn’t seem right. That would be my public key changed to begin with nsec instead of npub?
Can I view my nsec here on damus?
Yes. It’s under settings->keys. https://i.nostr.build/VwDPq.jpg
