I don’t use alby’s extension because it conflates unlocking the extension for nostr stuff and for the lightning wallet. Having to constantly re-enter my password is a hurtle I don’t want to be jumping all the time.

You had mentioned this before... what was your browser setup again? why do you need to re-enter your password (in the same browser session)

Yeah every single time alby needs to do anything. It’s infuriating.

but what's your browser setup? seems that is not normal behavior and obviously it should not be like that.

Interesting, you only put password at first launch of the browser.

Anyway, Alby is first and foremost lightning wallet and doing a Nostr-only version kinda doesn't make sense for us. There's Nostr Connect redesigned by @Karnage that is exactly that

nostr:npub1m0sxqk5uwvtjhtt4yw3j0v3k6402fd35aq8832gp8kmer78atvkq9vgcru Yeah, so what i do is i have NWC through alby for lightning, but use Nostr Connect for everything else. I think fundamentally the security and user experience you want for a wallet is different than for an identity provider, which is what nostr connect is.

And personally, I never have more than a couple hundred thousand sats in any lightning wallet. I’d honestly rather have good smooth UX even if there was a chance somebody would steal all the sats. I get that others treat the lightning wallet with the same security they’d use for a full btc wallet, but that’s not me.

I promise we will make it much easier soon 🙏 I just had great session about this with nostr:npub1e5tfhk8m65teu25dfx8lcvwn4c8ypqjl72u2sh4rt8zy2kss0j5qct7mh9 and we came up with good solutions I think. thank you for your feedback!
