#asknostr how can i easily perform a test about recovering my nostr keys by using the seed words? Can I use any client, such as #coracle for example? Thanks and sats in advance. #thx&sats

I don't even know how you get a seed phrase on nostr.
I think it's as "simple" as with Bitcoin. You get a 256-bit hash from your nsec, then run it through some sort of cryptographic function, and from that you derive the mnemonic list of words using BIP-39.
What I've never seen is the opposite -- what OP is mentioning here about using a seed phrase with an existing Nostr app. But if you have a seed phrase, then you can revert the process and get the nsec. Has anyone put together a tool for that? No idea.
You can get your seed words using #Amber signer. Go into your settings and seed words are a back-up option.
nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5 it does not appear that you can input seed words into Amber to add that account for signing. Is this a planned feature in the future, or am I missing something?
