No, because I use my alby extension in my browser to sync with the client. I only use nostr on desktop so not sure how it works for apps/mobile devices

So you give alby the nsec and they sign into the nostr client?

Yea, but my nsec is generated from alby in the beginning so I just stuck with that and no need to worry about nsec apart from noting in down(offline) in case there's a blow up somewhere down the line.

I had no idea you could create an nsec there and use it on nostr. Thats cool.

Yea it's so long ago that I did it that I kind of forgot the exact reasoning. I think there was/is the option of self generating an nsec and then using it or using an extension like alby or nos2x to generate an nsec which, I'm no expert, keeps the nsec somewhat shielded from disclosure on clients and websites. https://uselessshit.co/resources/nostr/ maybe have a look at the the section "getting the keys" and "how to generate and manage nostr keys and sign events" there's quite a good guide there.

The one thing that has stuck in my brain since january this year is never enter an nsec on a website. i'm sure there is some nuance there but I stick with that rule!

Yeah, badges seem dangerous

I just looked on that https://uselessshit.co/resources/nostr/ in the generate the keys section it will take you to an alby or nos2x tutorial. Actually in the alby tutorial it does suggest that you could put your own private key into alby and go from there.
