The year is 2025.
I have 20 different nostr apps installed on my phone.
How am I managing my nsec between them all?

In the secure element of your home nsec bunker device.
aka nsecBunker running on your Satslink device (once nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 sends me mine)
Bitwarden?
I also asked my private nostrich
do you mean on mobile right?
The only application which comes to mind which enables accessing decentralized applications, for example, on Ethereum Virtual Machines via a mobile phone is a wallet application like Metamask, which has an integrated browser which lets it inject the needed tools in the browser, so that one can access application without exposing (copy'n'paste) the private keys.
A solution could be an intermediary application which uses a secure technology like zk (zero-knowledge proof) and exposes an API to other applications to verify and sign message!
Leveraging key delegation one could for example keep the keys of the account in a cold storage, and load a bunch of delegate keys on the intermediary application ..
just an idea =)
Let’s be honest, the year is today and I have 20 different Nostr apps installed on my phone 🤣🤣🤣
Haha nsec just pasted into all of them?
Ok maybe not quite 20 yet but way more than I need 😂 I test them first with a separate key that I only use for testing, so I don’t care if it gets compromised. If an app is interesting enough that I’d like to use it then I may add my nsec. I also like that a lot of them are web based apps because then I can just use my signing extension. I keep it set to ask for permission to sign every event so I know what the app is requesting. Im hopeful that we will see some easy to use signing apps based on the work Pablo is doing with nsecBunker and the new NIP he was writing to let one app sign for another.
Do you know what the new NIP is?
It’s NIP-46. Looks like it’s modifications to an existing NIP instead of a new NIP altogether. Hard to keep track of Pablo 🤣 I’ll link the note ID below.
