Description
Currently anyone who can unlock my phone can also read my keybase messages.
Even worse when later KBFS will be implemented for mobile devices, one could even access my very private files.
And even though we can assume that phones are locked via password, pin, finger print or any other means, we also have to assume that there are backdoors built in by manufacturers, device administrators, legal authorities, or even compromised third party software (aka viruses, troyans, etc).
Therefore I'd suggest adding an optional password and or finger-print screen in front of the mobile keybase client.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the mobile application's launch flow and its existing password or biometric integration, then define how an optional gate should work on supported devices; done means the gate appears before the application can be opened and does not block users who leave it disabled.
