Absolutely agreed, the average person will not save their nsec key and would not know where to save it. I know several people that even after I told them about password keepers like keepass are still using pen and paper to save their user and passwords. All of these people will just leave as soon as they think that they have to write down all of their nsec key on their password notepad 😂

And that’s fine, most people aren’t using these accounts for super secure things, if they do lose a key and have to start their account over from scratch, it’s not a big deal.
It is fine indeed, but it would be nice if they could recover their account via email. If I were to build a system for this I would give the option of the ability to recover the account with email, if activated, you should have a disclaimer explaing you the risk of someone taking over the account and know that nsec is more secure. So people can choose convenience over security and enjoy nostr with us :).
The way I see it is that it’s kind of like password managers, you should use them but many folks just re-use a couple passwords.
