Realised a while back that when I log into the Alby extension on a new computer it loads a random nsec. Then I have to go into the wallet settings and put in the proper one, manually. Then delete my client cookies and log in again.
I'm guessing it's so the nsec isn't stored on their server, but it's a little confusing when you first log into a client and just end up with some random account. I've never seen any instructions when logging into the extension that explain that's the case.
Is my account just weird or do other people see this too?
