The moment Amber has a smooth UX and QR scan/signing process in most clients (along with the current clients detecting if you have the app to login with), is the moment where #nostr starts becoming mainstream, where its just continuing to create clients now.

Why?

My mother's pain points with current traditional systems:

What's my email? what's my password? can you register for me on this thing? how do I download this app? how can you create an account? which email should i use? etc.

#Nostr + #Amber:

One "account".

One pin lock.

Login process: Scan/approve.

For everything.

I told and showed her this process, along with the zap store for downloading apps without playstore's usual headache process. She was thrilled, and asked how we can start using it. Not yet is the answer since we're still not there yet, and told her "This is the near future".

You can solve this by setting her up with bitwarden

Sure, but that's still complicated / includes a lot of steps and management.

Amber + Nostr is the simplest future we'll get imo.

How is that complicated? You have 1 password

For me and you, its not, for mom and dad, it is.

There's still the management of it:

- for each service you want to use, you have to make a new account

- for each new account you make, you have to add it to your vault

- there's more steps somewhere that i think think of off the top of my head at the moment most likely

With Amber/Nostr:

Generate (once) then scan to login

I mean it's basically a password protected excel fix. Your parents must be older than mine. But either way, amber/pub private keys is never going to be used for everything. You'll always need a password to log into say your retirement account, so teaching them how to use bitwarden is worth your time no matter
