I’m struggling with how to securely use #Nostr iOS apps.
From what I’ve read we must protect our Nsec; hence, the need to install an extension like Alby (npub1get…0nfm) when using a Nostr web client like primal (npub12vk…pugg) on the desktop.
When installing a Nostr iOS app like fountain_app (npub1v5u…n0v5) or damus (npub18m7…q955) , I’m asked to enter my Nsec directly into the app.
How do I know where my Nsec is being stored?
Is there something like Alby (npub1get…0nfm) for iOS, or is it a matter of needing to trust each Nostr app I install and hope they are securing my Nsec correctly?
