For anyone using the Alby browser extension but mostly as a reminder to myself:

If you change browsers and install Alby in it anew, Alby will auto-generate keys for Nostr and you will not be able to use your existing profile - even if you logged into Alby with email/pw. Which IMO is insane. You're logging in with your credentials so why doesn't Alby pull YOUR keys but instead generates new ones?!

The other 'hideious' thing is that the key (and lightning address) at the bottom of this snippet were my correct ones, however the npub on the top and the private key as well were auto-generated.

The fix is to remove those generated keys and copy/paste your own npub into it. Et voila - everything is back to normal.

Thanks @TheGrinder for encouraging me to look at this for the umpteenth time and finally realizing that the npubs didn't match.
