 Agreed. I also refuse to use Alby because they require an email. That is horrendous for a supposedly open ecosystem. 
 May I ask what do you use instead of Alby? 
 I use Nostore on iOS for browser apps. If it is desktop browser, i just don’t use it 
 But is there any wallet service that doesn’t require email? And what if you use an encrypted, secure email? Or email alias? 
 What is a “wallet service” exactly? I would question that premise. 

Yeah I could make a throwaway email, but I won’t because it’s very annoying to do so and I don’t think what I am getting in return is worth it. 
 I'm still learning so I'm definitely noting your input. Thank you. 🤍 
 Yes, I feel highly uneasy with the email part.

 Email is also a protocol though and everyone should have it, even more people than facebook has  
 Recommending an extension that uses your normal email is akin to saying Nostr requires KYC 
 Our custodial wallet service require an e-mail to log you in to the dashboard and recover your access.

However, our extension is open-source and doesn't require any e-mail or data to use Nostr with it. Also, your nsec private ey stays on your machine, Alby doesn't see your actions. 
 The extension won’t let me add a nostr key without giving you my email. Maybe that is an error?
