[Feature request] Implement Nostr signer in the Keepassxc browser plugin

[racuna]

Hi,

Nostr is a protocol (Notes and other stuff transmitted by relays) that can be used for building social networks, blogs, reddit-like sites, and so on.

This protocol works using keys (public and private), and there is a NIP (Nostr Implementation Possibilities) that is used to provide a way to sign in to a Nostr platform without giving them the private key.

It would be interesting to see this implemented in Keepassxc instead of using another browser plugin to do it.

What prevents you for using a custom KPH attribute (KPH: <your key>) or Auto-Type for this?

[racuna]

That would give your private key to the different Nostr web clients. A nip-07 browser extension allows you to sign Nostr events on web-apps without having to give them your keys

I have no previous knowledge about the whole Nostr, but looking at the video here https://github.com/fiatjaf/nos2x I can see that you can enter the public or private key directly to the input field. The extension can already support scenarios like that. Isn't that a viable solution?

[racuna]

Yes, you can. But isn't recommended to put the private key in the input field of services (web-apps) you don't know if the dev has good intentions or not. That's why there is the NIP-07 proposal of implementation.

This feels like an alternate universe passkey

Yeah... looks like it is. LOL.
