Why do I need to set a password for my nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 account?
Discussion
Am I misunderstanding something?
I never want to create another account or set another password again. This is #nostr
One the one hand, yes. I love the convenience of using my nostr keypair everywhere. On the other hand... don't love the idea of all of my accounts being perma-pwned because I made a mistake and exposed my privkey.
For real. I get so annoyed now when I have to
Canceled Password Culture with #Nostr
to unlock your passwordless nostr experience
"enter password"
You can still use your key pair and ‘nsec bunker’ to login, but like Fishcake said, it’s a security feature.
Also, a lot of people don’t want to use a keypair tool or login with their private keys. We have options!
I can't get past the "set a password" screen when trying to sign up for premium. Maybe I'm stupid 🤷
just breathe in
and blame the design
Oh weird, so it’s not accepting the password you are creating? Maybe try again ‘incognito mode’ or another browser?
Password also must be greater than 6 characters
No, you said "options" and nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc as if understood setting a password is optional, but what you meant was logging in with a pw is optional - setting a password is not.
#metoo
Because that’s how we have had accounts in the beginning, where nostr authentication was added later. This also serves as a second layer of protection if you lose your nsec or if it gets compromised. 🐶🐾🫡
Alright, so that's technical debt is what you're saying.
Please consider changing this. I don't want to deal with my password manager in the nostr world. Password managers are a symptom of a broken system, and imho #nostr fixes this.
Isn’t the catch that you have to trust every app that takes your nsec?
But yeah the npub is public anyway
I guess they are full and want to limit the access !
You don't have to. You can login with npub+DM.
Personally, I prefer not to paste my nsec everywhere, but I also hate the need for an additional password 😅
