so private-key is the main key here, i have backed it up safely, but I need to enter it again on any app whenever I need to sign-in. What if that app is compromised ?? Can they leak my private key ??

Already shared my private key with Alby, snort.social, iris etc.

Yes, your private key is sensitive. So you want to enter it sparingly. On mobile stick with highly reputable and open source clients. On the computer load your private key in Alby then login using alby. Most web clients support this and your private key is never shared with the client.

The next step for you is to copy the Lightning address you created in Alby and add it into your profile in the field that says Lightning address or Lightning tips. Once you do that we will see it and can #zap you. And Alby also lets you send zaps as well.

It’s called a custodial wallet because it’s managed by a third party. After you have had some time to explore how it works, you should look into using non-custodial wallets as well. Again, feel free to #AskNostr if you get stuck on anything!
