Suggestion: include reading a qrcode with ncryptsec NIP49 format #4

Open antonioconselheiro opened 5 months ago

I would like to suggest to include into your extension support to read an encrypted qrcode. NIP49 (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/49.md) provides a way to encrypt our nsec, any tool that geneates a qrcode with NIP49 will be compatible.

This will help me to avoid typing my nsec or copy and paste it, this make sense?

Can you clarify what "extension support to read a encrypted qrcode" means?

antonioconselheiro commented 4 months ago

Sure:

  1. nsec field has a qrcode button (or in another place): image

  2. when click, camera open to scan a qrcode;

  3. the qrcode content must be a nsec or a ncryptsec (encrypted nsec, NIP49, https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/49.md);

  4. If it's ncryptsec (encrypted nsec) you will need a pin to decrypt it, so, open a prompt with a textfield asking for the pin;

  5. decrypt ncryptsec with the pin and get the nsec hex, fill the field with the value.

The nsec field can support receive a ncryptsec with no qrcode scanner too.

Other extensions are supporting load/scan qrcode with credentials, If you need help to implement it I'm available: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nos2x/pull/67
