Since our latest release, every account in the Alby extension can now have Nostr keys. Great if you have a business that you would like to get on Nostr too, as well as managing your own personal page. We had many questions, let's take a look and answer some for you. π Q. When I go to my second account to generate new keys for a second identity on Nostr the same keys are there from the one I use currently.? A. All keys will be the same until you generate a new set for each account. This will not delete the ones from other accounts. Q. I can not delete my public key in my second account and it's the same as my first one.? A. You have to generate a new private key first which will automatically give you a new public key or if you have your own key put that in and it will derive your public key there. Q. Where are my nostr keys in the extension? A. Click the menu, in the top left-hand corner of the extension, navigate to accounts. A new window opens with all your accounts in the extension, you click on each account and you can add/manage your keys for each separate account. Here we show you where your keys are now in the extension. How to set up your second identity keys in a different account. You can see from the video the keys are the same as my other account until I generate new ones. https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_dfcbf5175fa4dd960821c7a44f136b727d53c973d17fd4632f50e3dac98128d9.mp4

Well done, solid implementation! Multi account is really useful, should be supported also by clients, with an easy way to switch (like https://hamstr.to by #[0] to wonderfully).
Just tested with Hamster and I faced a minor problem: the Alby account is tied to the domain, so is not so immediate use multiple key pairs on the same web app in a fast-switching scenario. Perhaps we should add a "window.nostr.getPublicKeys()" to the NIP-07 and Alby could let configure the relationship between a domain and multiple account/key pairs. /cc #[0]
yep, we can have some improvements there and potentially also have an JS event for clients when the user switches an account. but I think we first need to learn what the needs are, so this is valuable feedback! thx

I was able to get to work! I do have to manage which account is selected in Alby. I have to pay close attention or else I'll sign a message with the wrong key! Can I set an account to be locked on a tab certain tab? I have a two tabs for two different nostr accounts using the Firefox containers extension.
