Subnostr

Has anyone made or are there any examples of using a Nostr browser plug-in to use your private key to sign something to effectively log into a website or service? Ideally two click sign-in — 1. Login button and 2. Approve login (sign using extension). Noting, entering a pubkey alone is unsuitable.

Basically experimenting with Nostr (password-less) Login for a website. Successful login would create a web session for auth against your pubkey. Logout just deletes that session.

Yep. The extensions are good. The part I’m trying to find prior work is around login using private key (not sharing it.. just using it) or a signed event like the AUTH relay nip.

I want the sign in to validate you have private key access - but beyond that, I don’t need your private key at all. Just confirm you have access to sign things.
