There is a new ncryptsec1... Key that has the key but it's encrypted with a password, similar to an encrypted ZIP file. If you paste that on Amethyst's login, it asks you for the password and decrypts to get your nsec and then uses that to login.

How does one set the password for their encrypted key? Or where in my settings do I go to set that up?

Go to backup keys in the left menu

Got that but how do I assign a password to it that I can then use to login into other Nostr apps? All I see is copying my original nsec key.

Nevermind, I am sorry, I am dumb. Thought I updated to the latest version but was not.
