Description

I did a big dumb and accidentally pasted my passphrase into the wrong window. Nothing happened until I pasted it into the correct window and the input buffer got dumped into the next prompt and named my gaming PC after my passphrase. I've already rotated the passphrase, but I'd still really like to not have it as a permanent fixture of my devices graph. Is there anything I can do?

I started the account reset procedure because it sounds like that will let me get back to square one, which I'm comfortable with in this case. I don't use the keybase app much, so I don't think I'm losing a lot. Is that an accurate assessment? and is there an easier way to excise this device?
