Is it a good idea to share your private Key with a third party?

-> Primal actively promotes it....why not just have it in a safe place.

Seems like a bad idea to me, what do you think?

The idea is sound. Anytime you copy and paste your nsec into an app or website you are potentially exposing it. By using a signing extension like alby, or a signing app like Amber, you centralize that concern. You share your nsec with one app and leverage it to login to all apps/sites. Now you only have to trust/verify a single app/extension rather than all of them

I just joined Nostr some minutes ago and I did it through Primal. Is that wrong?
