Yeah, I agree. But unfortunately for many, the convenience far outweighs the downside. I’ve been thinking about how I might incorporate biometrics- a digest that I sign with my own private key, when presented can be compared with the digest of an authenticating device.

Using a pin protected 424 Ntag NFC sticker/card provides far superior security and user experience. Functionally the same as my security badge/pin # that was necessary for me to gain ramp entry when I worked as a ramp agent for United Airlines. My photo on the badge was all the biometric verification needed, but that wasn't essential for access control.

Super. Thanks for the tips!

These are the same NFC tags as used for the Boltcard wallets. I believe these make the ideal Nostr event tap-2-sign solution possible, that should also be able to provide tap-2-pay with LN, or even eCash, too.

Thinking about storing an embedded photo in #nostr #safebox Might be all I need.
