Yes, I'm gonna use passkeys to help simplify nostr key management when accessing nostr apps. The nsecs will be importable/exportable. All the pieces are almost in place to put it online for everyone to test. I just need to go back to drinking coffee or someone to whip my back. Passkeys have become better with time. We don't need Apple/Google/MS/some-linux-distro-support anymore. E.g. Bitwarden (can be self-hosted) has a browser extension and native apps, supports passkeys and syncs keys across devices no matter the OS.

That's interesting. We looked at the software-vault option for a related thing some time back (B2B use case, not Nostr keys) but the issue we hit is when any app requests the creation of a passkey on iOS, it's up to the user to decide where to store it, the app has no control over that, cannot force the user to a specific provider (I guess FIDO mandated). And pretty much every time user goes with hardware passkey and keychain. Is there now some way to influence that choice besides simply telling the user what to set up and choose beforehand?
