If you onboard a newbie to nostr, make sure to help them get the nsec into a password manager or similar.

Phones will be lost. Apps deleted. They don't know what they do, and with this (imperfect) backup in place they won't have to start from scratch.

Yes, good advice but don’t forget to tell them not to do this for their Bitcoin seed phrases ;)

Indeed this is a critical point. There's nothing worse than using your Nostr app for 3 months and then losing your account because your phone breaks and you haven't saved your password anywhere. Do you have any suggestion to improve this aspect on Nstart?

For backup, that's fine. No one should be comfortable moving their nsec around. It should never leave the password manager unless there is an issue.

we have this option but people skip it a lot. may need to remind them often like signal does with pin reminders.

Hodl your nsec like a seed phrase 🙏

Most people don‘t even use a password manager. One size fits all.

Would it be too paranoid to save the nsec only in offline devices and use it only with a hardware signer? Just like it is advised to do with Bitcoin. Impersonation could be a potential source of problems, specially if you are a well known person

Just memorize the nsec 🤷‍♂️

Yup already happened to me lol. Got a new phone and never saved my keys so know I have two account one with no access just floating in the nostr ether.

If I lost my phone and there’s some Sats in the Primal Lightening wallet, would I use my nsec private key to recover them? Or another recovery method? Thanks 🙏

Yes. We try to make this clear on our onboarding page https://rizful.com/get_on_nostr_today

Coinbase can store these too

I worry about the password manager being hacked one day… as you say an (imperfect)

Great advice. I lost my first two NOSTR accounts due to this. I just save my nsec to notes😀

We should stamp seed it on a plate, tbh
