I've been using GetAlby to login to various clients: Coracle, Satellite, and Snort. Alby logs in so I don't have to use my private key.

I am setting up another computer and logged into getalby on the new computer. It logged in and shows my balance, but I can't get it to link to any of the websites to log me into my account. I put my npub into one of the clients (Coracle), so I can see my feed, but I can't post or interact. What am I doing wrong?

npub is read-only.

you need the nsec to publish notes.

I haven't even gotten it to work on my phone yet. At all.

Hey nostr:npub1aeex27mygl2ca7j4hnxl85ce2hhu8gg5au557d5ykd6tjsdfa5ssfj63av!

Your lightning wallet and nostr identity are two separate things... that can be managed by one Alby extension 😉

If you move to another browser or computer, you need to take your keys with you and move it there - we don't store nor we do recover your nostr keys (we do take care of your custodial Alby Account, however).

So - take the nsec (not npub - this one is derived from nsec anyway) you use from one extension profile, copy it and paste in Nostr settings on another device. It will calculate and fill the npub field for you, and from now on you can use Nostr clients with our extension.

Please use your nsec safely.
