If I've already gotten my private key can someone tell me if I can still use the Alby extension for login or do I have to get the private key from Alby and start all over again?

For every crappy Nostweet I post I have a sure fire plan to counter it with a less crappy Nostweet. I strive for mediocrity in everything I do. I never disappoint in this regard.

Daily observation: Firm boogers are oddly satisfying. Why is that?

Can anyone explain why it's safe to paste my private key into the login feature when logging into Amethyst? Should I be doing something else?
