Description
I just updated macOS to 10.14.3. When I opened keybase, it showed me as logged out on this machine, so I tried logging in. It failed (both GUI and CLI) with the following error:
▶ ERROR Login required: login failed after passphrase verified
It's a weirdly phrased message, but just to be sure I opened up my linux machine, and ran keybase passphrase recover. I reset my passphrase, and returned to the Mac. Attempting to log in again gives me exactly the same error.
Keybase GUI Version: 3.1.0-20190307221744+1ebfca5cab

Research direction
Start by reproducing the login failure through both the Keybase GUI and CLI on macOS 10.14.3, focusing on the transition after passphrase verification. Done means a known-good passphrase can complete login without the reported error.
