I'm curious why no nostr clients (native or web) support username/password detection by browsers or password managers like bitwarden.

In other words, why is it that when I log in to a client or "sign up" and generate a new npub+private key, my browser and/or bitwarden extension don't ask to save the credentials?

This could go a long way towards making key management more convenient and secure.

Excellent idea. Itโ€™d be great for something like Bitwarden to play the role of something like nos2x, Alby, and nostore.

That would be great

Because those apps listen for form submissions with username and password fields, private and public keypairs don't use username and password fields so it doesn't pick up on it.

I was working on Password AutoFill two days ago for #Damus I believe it requires #[3] to add a webcredentials thing on his damus.io server, but might be doable. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/password_autofill/

#[2] #[3] Trying to fix account creation to not show the keyboard, but Password Autofill works (username is npub*, password is nsec1*). Ignore my tyiu.xyz domain, itโ€™ll be replaced with damus.io. https://github.com/damus-io/damus/pull/559

Awesome!!

Found a hack to fix the keyboard problem. PR is good to go.

maybe the passwd managers support next version ๐Ÿ˜„

Fun fact: if you name the field in bitwarden the exact same as the html ID or name attributes, it will autofill.
