Hear me out:
A bitkey but for your Nostr login.
It be cool to be able to log into apps using a bitkey like nfc. I could install the nostkey app and say Spotify for example. Tap the nostkey to log into the app. Use that to log in to Spotify in a way that the work phone doesn’t have access to the login credentials and I don’t have to type them.
Is this a dumb idea? Does it already exist in some form?

Here's the trouble with this idea. You don't have to use your private key to just log in, and then you are free to do what you want until you log out. You need to use your key to sign for EVERYTHING!
Want to zap a meme that made you laugh? Your private key must be used to sign.
Want to post a GM? Your private key must be used to sign.
Want to react to a post with a 🤙? Your private key must be used to sign.
Want to mute some reply-bot? You guessed it, your private key must be used to sign.
This means that you would have to tap to sign over and over again. There is no way to pre-emptively sign for everything you could possibly want to do, so it has to be a separate tap for each action you perform.
