Description

I keep getting a popup saying:

> 'KeybaseInstaller is trying to install a new helper tool.'

Even after entering the local machine admin password, it asks for it again over and over again 10-20 minutes between each popup.

**my log id:** c051e9df2b42cd6d439ed81c
**macOS version:** 10.14.1 Beta (18B57c)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the repeated KeybaseInstaller helper-tool prompt on macOS 10.14.1 Beta using log ID c051e9df2b42cd6d439ed81c. Inspect the installer and helper-tool logs to identify why authentication is not persisting; done means the prompt no longer recurs after the administrator password is entered.
