Hello Humble Stackers! Welcome to our blog, we post company updates and selected Bitcoin stories here. Maybe even some new deals and special offers too!
We're excited to announce two new sovereign authentication options for satsback.com: Nostr Login and LNURL Auth. These passwordless login methods enhance your security and privacy while aligning with Bitcoin's principles of self-sovereignty.
Why Sovereign Authentication Matters
Traditional email and password logins create security vulnerabilities and privacy concerns. Our new options offer:
- Enhanced Security: No passwords to be compromised
- Better Privacy: No personal information required
- True Sovereignty: Full control over your digital identity
- Seamless Experience: Simple one-click or scan authentication
Nostr Login: Browser Extension Authentication
Nostr Login leverages the decentralized Nostr protocol through browser extensions like Alby or nos2x that securely store your keys and handle signing.
When you log in:
- Our site requests your public key from your Nostr extension
- You authorize the request with a single click
- Authentication happens seamlessly through cryptographic signatures
The integration also enables NIP-17 Private Direct Messages, allowing us to send encrypted notifications about your satsback rewards and account updates. These messages are end-to-end encrypted, ensuring your data remains private.
To receive these messages, make sure your Nostr account is properly configured to support NIP-17. We recommend using Amethyst on Android or 0xchat on iOS, as both support receiving encrypted DMs.
LNURL Auth: Login with Your Lightning Wallet
LNURL Auth uses your Lightning wallet's cryptographic keys for passwordless authentication. Simply:
- Click "LNURL Auth"
- Scan the QR code with your Lightning wallet
- Authorize the login request
- You're in -- no password needed!
Compatible wallets include Breez, Phoenix, Alby, and other LNURL-auth supporting applications. Your wallet creates unique signatures for satsback.com, preventing tracking across different websites while maintaining your consistent identity on our platform.
Getting Started
For existing users:
- Log in with your current credentials
- Go to Account settings
- Add either authentication method under "Authentication Methods"
For new users:
- Select "LNURL Auth" or "Nostr" during signup
- Follow the prompts to connect your wallet or extension
- Complete your account setup
Security Reminder
Remember, these authentication methods use cryptographic keys:
- For Nostr: Your private key is your password and cannot be reset
- For LNURL Auth: Your Lightning wallet's seed phrase grants access to both funds and logins
Embrace Sovereignty
By adding these authentication options, satsback.com continues to champion the sovereign, self-custodial principles that define Bitcoin. Experience the future of web authentication-one that respects your sovereignty while enhancing security and convenience.
