Description

I have a working password wich allows me to connect to the website and do everything from there. Although, when doing keybase logout and keybase login on my terminal, I get "Bad passphrase: server rejected login attempt". Therefore I can't you the terminal neither the keybase chat tool.

I'm on a macOS High Sierra 10.13.2

my log id: cf72558ade1e795a05e0dd1c

Thanks for you support

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with keybase logout followed by keybase login on the reported macOS version. Inspect the client logs using log ID cf72558ade1e795a05e0dd1c and trace the rejected-login path; done means terminal login succeeds and the Keybase chat tool is usable.
