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.
