Description

Hi. I'm trying to login to the keybasefs app... And, it's not letting me... I've attached screenshots. But, basically, it seems to be complaining about one of my keys that I made ages ago... I don't know what else beyond the screenshots to send, to help debug. (Although, of course, I'm not going to send my private keys...)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the attached screenshots and the Keybasefs login flow; the report says failure occurs after entering a username and password and may involve an old key. Reproduce the failure without sharing private keys, then identify the relevant Keybase client login and key-handling entry points. Done means a confirmed cause and a documented fix, but this issue names no files or tests.
