Great article as always @DarthCoin
You might want to mention something regarding Login with LN in your article.
I used my BW LNDHUB custodial wallet to “Login using Lightning”. This was my only login to some services like SN. I have now changed this since I was to avoid the ability to login once they shut down.
Another related thing I discovered which surprised me was the Login with LN using the same custodial wallet (BW LNDHUB) on BW and imported in Alby recognised me as two different users when logging into SN. I was told this is due to a lack of standard on the way this is handled by each wallet. This is now quite frustrating as I can no longer login with LN using BW on mobile 😵‍💫 I’m wondering if anyway has any suggested workarounds for this? i.e. how to login with LN on mobile using Alby custodial account?
The LN-auth is not given by the LN app. Is given by the LN node you are using in that LN app. So if you already used a BW lndhub account for a LN-auth, just replace it with a new lndhub account.

I imported by Alby account into BW and it worked and recognised me as the same user!
I’m confused now, as with my BW custodial wallet which I imported before into Alby (other way round), I was sure that I was recognised as two different users on SN when I logged on PC using Alby extension vs when I logged on mobile using BW. Maybe I did something wrong don’t know but anyway thanks it seems to work now this way round.

Ok maybe I spoke too soon. After I logged into SN using BW configured with Alby custodial wallet, I tried now to login with my PC browser again and it recognized me as a different user. So Login with LN BW =/ Login with LN Alby it seems :(
