Who uses multiple keys on nostr? did you find that was easy to set up in Alby? I guess that would be hard to do without an extension. Be like losing your car/house keys.. keys all over the place!! I think it's great one of my favorite features.

It was very easy. Just read through https://guides.getalby.com/overall-guide/alby-browser-extension/features/nostr
I'm using my first key for now, but everything was easy, I read all your guides and points.
Our life is easier with Alby now :D
I have multiple keys. My issue is that I mostly use native clients not only Web clients. Waiting for the day Alby goes mobile/native.

I do and I wanted to try alby for this when I saw you support multi-key, but I wanted to use two keys with one alby account, not two alby accounts? Is that possible?
You need to connect some account to the extension. This actually also could be the same lightning account added twice to the extension and then have different Nostr keys for those.
Our main account is a lightning connection (either to an Alby account, or your own node, or something like LNBits or BlueWallet, etc.)

Thanks for the great work and app ✨
Does Alby keep separated the different browser windows with different nostr keys sessions?
The active wallet account does not seem to switch accordingly with the active nostr session when viewed from the extension.
Or is there a danger to sign with wrong keys?
not sure if I understand you correctly. But the selected account in the extension is the same in all tabs.
If a client builds a note with key A and you sign it with key B then it gets typically rejected from the relays.
Nostr clients need to improve the UI a bit for multi accounts. hamstr.to is doing that already quite well.
I have two different nostr accounts active and the other is on "a private mode" window and the other in the regular so that the sessions keep separate. Pure tab separation does not accomplish that.
If Alby would work with different browsers (e.g. Safari) one could accomplish the same by running the nostr accounts in Brave and Safari using Alby.
ah, yes. the selected account in Alby is not window specific but browser wide.
I am sure clients will support multi-accounts soon also, so this hack will no longer be needed I hope.
