57 sats \ 10 replies \ @supratic 10 Oct \ on: Guide for setting up LN URL auth log in? bitcoin
that's somehow related to this #969776 I'm still looking to fix the user side, finding an app that provide a LNURL string for auth purposes.
@justin_shocknet please explain why did you removed LN-auth from https://lightning.video and replace it with nostr?
this is a very interesting topic anyways

We still support it but it's basically dead
For identity it's not nearly as useful as nostr because you can't easily sign interactively, its really only good for tokens... can't encrypt stuff with it etc
Also its really broken, we had a bunch of users stop being able to log in because their wallet (not ours) introduced a bug that changed their key... this is in addition to the fact its largely inconsistent among wallets, new users would often try 3-4 different wallets before finding one where it worked
Then users would forget WHICH wallet they used to log in
Whole experience was just really bad, it's dead.

very good response. I like it.
@siggy47 please take notes.

Yes. That's a good point. Personally I have a separate wallet that I only use for log ins, so I can't forget!

Wallets don't provide strings, the string is a challenge by the service you're authenticating to.
What wallets contain is a secret used to sign the challenge.

that's interesting to know. So what user should paste here (related to this plugin) and how a noob can generate one?
Is not the same, but for now I ended up using this other YEGHRO Nostr Login plugin, enabling only login for existing nostriches but not nostr-signup yet. LNURL integration still on the to-do list.

That looks like it may just be a half baked implementation, it's asking for lightning node pubkey instead of getting it via callback... Perhaps due to a limitation in WordPress.
