Description

Hello, I was told that I can get help from the keybase by the github so here am I. A long time ago I created a keybase account but "got bored" about it. Now that I'm using gpg for a long time I want to get it back, the thing is, I lost every manner of access to it, expect my pc that still haves the key I registered, any way I can log in with it?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's account-recovery question alongside Keybase's existing authentication and GPG identity documentation. Done would require a confirmed supported recovery or ownership-verification path, or a clear statement that the retained GPG key cannot restore access.
