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?

Parent-child key generation, and management with shareable key. I do not want to copy the same nsec everywhere.

The first one was complicated. The second one is probably the good one.

I have 46 ideas about this.

QR may be the simplest but I worry it will encourage people to take a screenshot. On iOS I can copy and paste using iCloud. What if Amethyst let you extract the key but protected by a passphrase you had to enter on the desktop client? Would this require a new NIP?

I think that the default storage should be desktop, and we should find better ways to communicate the nsec to the phone

Password managers are the default, and they operate between desktop and mobile clients. No need to pass anything between different devices manually. Autofill within browsers handles also the transit from the manager to browser’s field without clipboard. Passkey or true delegation would be the ide...

I prefer key delegation. Signing a delegate nsec via QR code.

I prefer the words. More secure than using some camera

I like the idea of a list of words. Simple.

Mnemonics are super useful, don't know why that wasn't a standard right away...

I don't get it, why want so much people to put a bunch of words somewhere, when they could easily could scan a qr code?

Sub nsecs that can be generated from amd revoked from the secret, like bitcoin addresses and gpg keys

Mnemonics is the easy and known way. Also we can store oN HWW.

Use an app like 'Wormhole'

Tattoos. Just kidding. List of words would be awesome.

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.
