I think qr code login was on the discussion table at some point. Not sure what happened to that

Guys, I thought of a killer feature to make #Nostr easier for normies
1. Make a signer extension like Alby or Nos2x. Don't call it a signer, call it a wallet. It should come with a lightning wallet
2. Do NOT show npub or nsec to the end user. Completely hide keypair from end-user. No one needs to know that a keypair even exists. Instead, show a QR code in the signer browser extension people can scan with all Nostr clients and apps to sign in anywhere
3. Ask people to backup their login credentials (actually keypair) to Google account or iCloud
4. Nostr clients should not show npubs, only Nostr / NIP-05 addresses
What say? The basic idea is to "hide" the keypair mechanism from normies

Why why why do normies need to know of npubs and nsecs??
🤷‍♂️ they might be fine without knowing. But everyone might need a nostr address then to find others
Sure, let everyone, even Jack Dorsey, have a Nostr address by default!
Maybe if every client granted you one. But I’m curious what others have to say.
Make it exactly similar to Web3 wallets and DApps
Nsec npub are not as big of an issue though. Nostr’s problem is retention and lack of a reason to stay. It’s a problem for any new social media
Coinbase wallet lets you sign into all DApps with just QR code
