Ok so, let's recap:
You used Nostr for creating the current account (Nostr can get a little complicated because it requires a particular browser plugin for signing transactions which availability can differ depending on device)
Going back to retrieving access your old SN account - you definitely used another auth method (lightning, email, etc) for creating it so you need to remember which was it.
wait wait i think I figured it out. Isn't there just a way to login with my nsec?

Usually there's such a possibility (I'm not sure whether SN supports it) but generally sharing your Nostr private key here and there is not recommended at all! That's why this Nostr browser plugin is created - to take your private key and sign transactions for you

Yeah.. hmm I mean as I look more, the nostr keys associated with this new account are the keys tied to everything else like primal, nostrplebs etc so I have no idea how I created my old account then haha. Maybe I'll try logging in with lightning? It definitely wouldn't have been email

Yeah, there's a good chance to be with lightning so:
  1. Open SN from another browser or device (or just from chrome incognito session)
  2. Try to authenticate using the most probable lightning wallet (if you have many) that you might had used because if will end up with another account if you guess it wrong
