nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j Passport now supports Nostr keys!

Nostr private key support has been added to Passport, allowing you to securely generate, easily backup, and recover your Nostr private keys directly from Passport or Passport’s seed.

Simply display your Nostr key as a QR code and login directly to your favorite app with a single scan. No more copy-pasting private keys.

You can use this today in Amethyst for Android.

That’s awesome

Now if only I could generate a new “cold” key pair offline and migrate this account 😂

Passport will generate them offline directly on the device for you 😉

Happy to answer any questions you have!

Oh I know that! I just don’t want to have to start a brand new nostr account. Need that key rotation action lol

Perhaps for a side account, or when a p2p Bitcoin buying option is introduced to nostr…. Then another account will be the perfect play

Keep up the great work 💜🫂

Ah, yes, definitely need better key rotation tooling for existing users, pretty painfully manual today!

Do you think I should restart my whole nostr account as I have input my key direct into Damus, Amethyst and NostrPlebs? For web clients I have used Nos2x extension.

I think you're fine using just Damus and Amethyst. Though, I am curious what you eamn about Nostr Plebs. Back in December we did have some people accidentally give us their private key before we stopped accepting hex keys and moved to the npub format. Did you give us your private key?

I love nostrgram too

I mean Plebstr! Hmm I don’t remember if I gave you guys my pv key or not:/

Most likely not. The 6 or so people that did I contacted them back in December 🤝

Ok sweet 🤙🏽

Thank you🙌🏽

Thanks so much for sharing, Derek!

Happy to answer any questions people have around this, here is a quick video of logging into Amethyst using it for those who are curious:
