Description

Is there a way to disable Keybase to be ran at startup? Honestly, it's too annoying for everyone that installed Keybase to have a pop-up window in the center of your screen at random times asking for your key password to init KBFS.

Research direction

Begin with the reported KBFS startup prompt and determine which platform and client component owns it; the issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. A complete investigation should establish whether startup can be disabled and define the expected behavior for users who do not use KBFS.
