While you can save your Bitcoin Txoko LNbits wallet to your phone as a progressive web app (PWA), a native app like [Zeus](https://zeusln.app/) or [BlueWallet](https://bluewallet.io/) offers a better user experience and better security. With [Alby](https://getalby.com/), you can also import the wallet into your browser extension for easy Lightning on the web and for Nostr zaps. It's possible to import your LNbits wallet into Zeus, BlueWallet, or Alby with LNDhub. We will cover how to do it with Alby and Zeus in this guide. With the Alby setup, one of the steps will easily allow you to import your wallet into Zeus as well. But if you only want to import your wallet onto Zeus, you can skip to the Zeus section.

|
### Alby
|
|
Alby is a browser extension that brings Lightning and Nostr to your browser. Using the [WebLN](https://www.webln.dev/) protocol, the extension can easily detect invoices on webpages and pay them as well as let you sign into websites with Lightning. You can also set budgets for your favourite Lightning sites. Furthermore, it can act as a Nostr signer using [NIP-07](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/07.md), which is much more secure than entering your private key into web clients.
|
|
#### What do I need?
|
|
- Web browser that supports Chrome or Firefox extensions. [Kiwi Browser](https://kiwibrowser.com/) supports it on Android.
|
|
- Access to your LNbits wallet.
|
|
- (Optional) A mobile device for setting up Zeus.
|
|
#### 1. Enable the LNDhub extension on your LNbits wallet
|
|
In your browser, head over to your wallet link. Click on *Extensions* and enable the *LNDhub* extension. After it has been enabled, go to the LNDhub extension page.
|
|
#### 2. Install Alby extension
|
|
Head over to [getalby.com](https://getalby.com/) and click on *Add Browser Extension*. Install the extension from your browser's extension store. Set up your unlock password and store it in a safe place.
|
|
#### 3. Import into Alby
|
|
In the next screen, choose *Connect*, then choose *LNDhub*. Go back to your LNDhub extension and copy the connection URL. Paste that into the *LNDhub export URI* field. Press continue. You should now have been connected to your LNbits wallet with LNDhub!

|
|
|
💡 You can choose between invoice URL and admin URL. They give Alby different permissions to interact with your LNbits wallet.
|
|
- Invoice URL allows you to generate invoices and receive payments.
|
|
- Admin URL also allows you to send payments.
|
|
#### 4. (Optional) Set up Zeus with Alby
|
|
Now that you have connected your LNbits with Alby, you can also easily import it into Zeus with Alby. Simply open the extension, click on your wallet name, and go to Account Settings. Under **Account** you can find the option to *Connect your mobile wallet*. When you press *Connect*, you will be shown a QR code to scan from Zeus.
|
|
|
|
If you haven't installed Zeus previously, go to [zeusln.app](https://zeusln.app/) and download Zeus for your mobile operating system.
|
|
|
|
Once Zeus has been downloaded, go to *Settings -> Add a new node*. Here you can scan the QR code that Alby is showing to import the wallet.
|
|
|
|
Voilà! Now you have the power of Lightning at your fingertips. Do you feel like a god yet?
