Transient NFC accounts can now be used together with a decoy account. Once the app goes to the background, the NFC account disappears from the phone and the decoy account becomes the primary.

Could you explain this in dumbed down terms for a not so intelligent dog?
1. Put the nsec in an NFC tag.
2. Hide the NFC tag in your clothing.
3. When you need to use the account, tap the tag use it.
4. When the app goes to the background, the phone deletes all traces of it.
If somebody confiscates your phone, there will be no trace of your real account.
And now they will think you operate only the decoy account.
Is nsec on card encrypted or anyone with NFC tag can use nsec?
If not encrypted I wonder if you could encrypt with keys of decoy account so that NFC alone does not expose nsec and you needed to be in decoy account already to access hidden NFC account 🤔

There is a reason people use fido keys. Why not support that.
Wow 😮👀

Wow I’m not on that level yet, maybe in a couple months LOL
Genius
Looking forward to playing around with this feature!
Any idea when this will be possible?
As a dog, I'd love to move my nsec to my implanted microchips.
Doesn't the app save the nsec account??? Or do you need a dummy account logged in and then then NFC nsec account will temporarily overwrite???
Oh man this could solve that access thing you were working on for the homeless people. They could leave a card like this with a trusted person and get access on any device.
Yeah, it's partially where the idea came from. :)
But why..
I am looking for a MFA NFC key which is small enough to fit on a watch bracelet.
And a clasp with which to attach the key.
Any suggestions?
