Beginners question admittedly, but isn’t the point that on Nostr if someone got hold of your nsec you’d just start again with a new nsec?

And you’d achieve this via a social layer of trust, showing it to people in person who know you etc, and building up your network from there. And this would fairly rapidly overtake and discredit the former one.

I thought the same thing, seems pretty straightforward, and like a feature for its simplicity.

From a user perspective I would still hope for an one time login key derivation feature for less risky testing of new clients eventually.

Personal web of trust seems sensible and relevant regardless. Difficult to infiltrate an entire specific group of nsecs at once.

Yeah I think that’s it - there are ways of securing your nsec and not exposing it etc, but once it’s out in the open that npub might as well be considered like any other imitation account of you.
