Description
What I did
I went to the Wallet page in the Mac Keybase app and clicked Add an account. A dropdown list of options appeared and I selected Link an existing Stellar account.
What happened
A window appeared requesting that I share the secret key.
What I expected to happen
A window to appear to allow me to enter either a public key/address only, or a secret key, so that I could add a second existing account I have as part of my identities without storing the secret key in Keybase.
Why did I expect this
Bitcoin and Zcash addresses can be added to Keybase with just the public key/address.

Research direction
Start from the Mac Keybase Wallet page and its Add an account flow, then trace the existing Link an existing Stellar account path. Verify that the flow accepts a public key/address without requiring a secret key while retaining the secret-key option, and that the account is added to the user's identities.
