Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.47-20180410052738+f705a9510f
When the GUI prompts me to create a paper key, then I click the big ol' blue button but then see... Devices?! As a new keybase user _that_ was confusing! I did clue in though, eventually. :-)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the GUI flow that prompts for a paper key and then presents Devices. Trace where that prompt and the blue button are defined; done means a new user can distinguish paper-key setup from device management without confusion.
