Description
Inspired by the Coinbase account on keybase, I decided to make an account for my new startup as well. Unfortunately, when I tried to log in locally, I got this error:
Ryans-MBP:ryan_singer ryan$ keybase login blockchainhealth
How would you like to sign this install of Keybase?
(1) Use an existing device
(2) Use a paper key
(3) Use my Keybase passphrase
(4) Use GPG
Choose a signing option: 3
Enter a public name for this device: Ryan's MBP
▶ ERROR bad signature: Wrong local user: got 'blockchainhealth' but wanted 'ryan_singer' (error 1002)
Ryans-MBP:ryan_singer ryan$

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported keybase login blockchainhealth flow and trace where the local-user check produces Wrong local user. Determine how local accounts are represented and what behavior the multiple-account request requires; done means an additional Keybase account can be logged into locally without that error.
