What if instead of only allow people to use a private key for login / registration, we had a Sign Up / sign in with Google and upon doing that, a key pair is generated for you and emailed to address. You would still have a nostr npub / nsec, but it would automatically back up for you. The user recognizes the social login, and it’s easier to populate information from that option. It would be like a hybrid mode where you keep the old sign up process but on the front end it’s all nostr. Perhaps then you could use that connection to integrate with other traditional services, perhaps with a database attached. So it would be like nostr, but with a benefit of a light database for some efficiency and integrations with minimal info collected.

Dumb idea? Defeats the entire purpose? Thoughts?

The effort of this would be honorable, though I see at least two "pain points" :

- we should have to consider the surface attack of sending the PK onto the network

- It would keep the lambda user wouldn't have to take into consideration the paradigm change regarding accounts and might think it still works the same way with it's old habits.

But maybe I'm not awake enough yet 😅

The second bullet point is unreadable, sorry about that
