Beg pardon, what’s hex?
The sheer number of people who have submitted their privkey/nsec for verification on https://verified-nostr.com is quite staggering. And that’s despite a bold, red message to only send the pubkey in hex.
Fortunately for them, I ensure those submissions are discarded. That said, there really should be a better way for key management and/or training for new folks to realize the privkey/nsec is basically their password.

No worries! I recommend checking out this part on “bare keys”
Thank you for the information and kind response. This science escapes me, tho I understand the basics of npub, nsec, note, and not sharing nsec. I will press on, gathering an understanding of the intricacies of computer science.
