I hear you. When I first raised my hand saying the same thing, I was pretty much told 'yup, it's complicated,' and then crickets. Ok, so as a non-technical person here's what I figured out as the easiest path:
1) Copy your private key called an nsec to your clipboard,
2) go to yakihonne.com on a desktop,
3) Login with your nsec,
4) Go to settings,
5) Go to wallet,
6) Create a NWC Yakihonne wallet,
7) Copy the NWC address (this is why you have to load the desktop version of the site. This won't show on mobile)
8) Go to your Alby portal
9) Use the NWC you just copied from your new Yakihonne wallet to Connect.
10) Now you can use your Alby extension to login and your wallet will follow you everywhere that accepts it. If you're using Primal on iOS, NWC doesn't seem to work, but otherwise there's plenty of apps that will.

Here's another thing you can do later, now that you have a Bitcoin lightning wallet, which is what these wallets are:
1) In your Alby portal, go to Connect again
2) Get your LNDHub credentials
3) Download a Bitcoin wallet like Blue Wallet phone app
4) Click on add a wallet or the plus button
5) Click on the three dots in the upper right and select Lightning
6) Add your LNDHub credentials as Your Node Address

Now you can send and receive Bitcoin outside of Nostr as well.
