I'm trying to think of how can I get normies to use a nostr client , to 'register' and 'login' without having them download a nostr extension or app signer, or needing to trust a a bunker service.

Thoughts on:

- Just a login screen/page/popup.

- Login with extension, or with remote signer, or with bunker, or with email+username+password combo (this would be the main/top method).

- With that email+username+password combo, it would generate an npub/nsec pair with a standardized script.

- Users can use this combo to always login to the same npub/nsec pair.

- This is generated/stored/used locally

- It's unsafe, but more safe/convenient and intro-friendly for normies than 'click to generate address pair', as its a familiar feeling

- The user still maintains custody

This is basically similar to a bitcoin mind wallet.

This should be used as an optional intro for normies, but clients should definitely show prompts mentioning that this is not advised/optimal and they should create a new account using an extension or remote signer, etc.

(a quick visual representation. There'd be just a "login" button in the navbar or app, and they'd see this. It's missing text that warns the user that this wouldn't be advisable). This seemingly less daunting for a normie user, I'd assume)

It's be an interesting 'temporary' option as a buffer for transitioning normies to the proper process of nostr.

It's the more secure and more convenient version of a brain wallet, but still bad and we'd constantly remind users to switch/move accordingly.

Thoughts?
