Description
Hi, I'm not able to login to keybase via the cli on Android 9 using termux. Looks like others are having the same issue.
Is there a configuration I am missing?
Steps
- Open the termux app on Android 9
- Install keybase via
pkg install keybase - Run
keybase service - Open a second session and run
keybase login - Enter your user name and press enter
⇨ cli exits with ERROR Secret store not functional: error while storing secret: no external key store available
Versions
- Android 9
- keybase 3.2.2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed Termux workflow on Android 9: install keybase, run keybase service, then run keybase login and observe the external-key-store error. Trace the CLI login and secret-store path to determine whether configuration is missing or Android lacks a supported store; done means login can store the secret or the limitation is documented.
