Description
Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.18-20161116172108+b3e405d
I signed up for Keybase online, then downloaded the client and set up my laptop as a device. Later that day, my laptop died when it ran out of battery (forgot to plug it in). When I restarted it, Keybase was logged out. I went to log in, and it asked me to log in with one of my other devices, including this laptop. I've had to create a new device for it with a different name, and then revoke the old device.
