Description

I'm testing the Keybase account which got only paper key, but it seems I can't export the wallet without setting the passphrase, e.g.

$  keybase wallet export
Please enter the Keybase password for xxx (8+ characters) to export Stellar secret keys: ▶ ERROR Input canceled

Maybe it should ask for the paper key instead?

I've tried to set KEYBASE_PAPERKEY, but it still doesn't work.

Research direction

Start by reproducing keybase wallet export with an account that has only a paper key, including the attempted KEYBASE_PAPERKEY setting. Trace the export entry point and determine whether completion should accept the paper key; done means paper-key-only accounts can export their Stellar secret keys without requiring an unset passphrase.
