Replying to Avatar Vitor Pamplona

It's annoying to copy your nsec from your phone to the browser's extension on a computer.

What would you prefer?

1. get the desktop to turn on the camera to scan an app-generated QR code with the nsec?

2. find a way to represent the nsec as a list of words so that people can easily write them from one device to another.

Any other ideas?

The browser extension should request authorisation with an ephemeral key, to which the phone app can respond with an encrypted ephemeral message after confirmation by the user.

So you want your private key inside a Nostr message out there?

There are no emphemeral events in the web. Somebody is always saving something. People are always watching.

Doesn't have to be over the greater Nostr network. Ideally over a relay you control, so you can ensure its not leaked.

But QR code is fine as well. 😎
