Is there a safe way to handle private keys on mobile? All I've read so far is that using extensions like alby can handle that, but that doesnt really work for mobile afaik.
Discussion
On iOS and Damus you can save them in the phones password manager and then it will auto fill. I have a couple private keys saved that way and can switch accounts in Damus pretty quickly without needing to copy and paste from anywhere.
I save my keys in my kdbx database
I wouldnt trust mobile incase its lost 👍 use an @tails usb bootable stick and save in an encypted file 🙏 tails is also a fun OS to play with for absolute anonimity
There is, unfortunately very few clients have implemented it yet.
I think we need to move to a model of using parent keys in cold storage that assign child keys used to sign events.
just good old fashioned open source + encrypting and persisting in local storage
for apple: application storage is sandboxed and no other app can read that persistence.
this mixed with encryption (and decrypted at app launch), is honestly really solid
for android i am not sure how app containers work, but for react native AsyncStorage supports encryption/decryption
