Most software keeps track of users by giving them a username and password. This gives the service
|
|
<strong>total control</strong> over their users, allowing them to ban them at any time, or sell their activity.

On <Link external href="https://nostr.com/">Nostr</Link>, <strong>you</strong> control your own identity and
|
|
social data, through the magic of crytography. The basic idea is that you have a <strong>public key</strong>,
|
|
which acts as your user id, and a <strong>private key</strong> which allows you to authenticate any message
|
|
you send.

It's very important to keep private keys safe, but this can sometimes be confusing for newcomers. This is why
|
|
flotilla supports <strong>remote signer</strong> login. These services can store your keys securely for you,
|
|
giving you access using a username and password.
