I have it messaged to myself in several e2e messengers. If I need it, I find it and copy&paste where it is needed.
I didn't even think about having it saved in a password manager... So I'm glad you asked this question.

My backup is on a flashdrive with a QR in addition so I can scan it with an external device if needed. I'll never need it again until I get a new phone since I use amber. On desktop use nos2x. Hence the backlash for not having amber support. Because people like me are not going to go digging up their nsec just to try a new app... I already have it secure in amber. I know all the places it's at. If I go putting it in everything I try I now have to remember it's there and trust they some mishandle it.
Yeah. That's smart! And I very much agree.
I like the idea of a paper backup on QR. Too bad no clients (besides Amethyst) support this as a login method.
Well... Amber supports a qr scan of your key too... 😂
I wouldn't really recommend it for most apps for the same reason I wouldn't recommend apps that don't support signers. I have to trust the client with the key. That's a no no for me.
That would be ideal. If I didn’t use iOS, I probably wouldn’t even think about it. I’d just be using that and an extension on my browser.
That's how I roll 😎
You can also use amber to interact with desktop apps. But basically no desktop app has it where I can scan a QR on a desktop with the callback to amber. I'm working on it for grain. But essentially you click login with amber on a desktop app and it ask either to proceed with amber (mobile web) presents a qr to scan on desktop that calls amber from your phone. But I think in that case it might still be handing your key to the client. I don't really know. I got amber working but tried a few times to get the other flow, couldn't get it working and went on to other things. nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl has a little experience here.
