Description
I've noticed that when I'm not logged into Keybase it prevents TextExander from expanding text. It is as if the Keybase login windows keeps stating that secure text input is active (and therefore TextExpander prevents expansion, this is a built in security measure. I think it should not do this until I really open the Keybase login screen in the client app.
Thanks for looking into this.
I'm on OS X Sierra 10.12.1 b4

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on OS X Sierra 10.12.1 with Keybase logged out and TextExpander enabled, using the supplied log ID if needed. Trace the macOS client behavior around secure text input and verify that text expansion works while logged out and secure input activates only when the Keybase login screen is actually open.
