Description

OS 10.11.6.
Keybase started up, prompted me for my password, I clicked out of the window, and when I came back, the password prompt window had disappeared, but attempted to sync kbfs and timed out since I was not logged in. Quit service, restarted and entered password in prompt, all was working well again.
