Explain for the #newbie masses why no one should log into a nostr client with their nsec directly
So there's some confusion about Coracle's private groups stuff, which boils down to it seeming like they don't work/exist.
What's actually going on is they rely on NIP 44 support, which is only available right now if you log in using your nsec directly, which no one does (and no one should do). Coracle also supports public groups (nip 72 communities), so if you're not logged in with your nsec, that's all you have right now.
My top priority is to get NIP 44 support merged into nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcpzamhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcyflj58 and nos2x, at which point things will start to make more sense. And of course I'll be constantly tweaking the UX to make it less disorienting.
Sorry to nostr:nprofile1qqsx8zd7vjg70d5na8ek3m8g3lx3ghc8cp5d9sdm4epy0wd4aape6vspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qgkwaehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvshsmdghv9 and everyone else who tried the feature to surprising results.

Your nsec is your account. Evil clients can steal it, dumb clients can let other people steal it.
How does one log in without using their nsec directly?
Either by using a Nostr browser extension or a nsecbunker are 2 common ways
I use nos2x: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nos2x/kpgefcfmnafjgpblomihpgmejjdanjjp
There are similar plugins for firefox (but I can't recommend one). I think alby works too.
how else do I login?
