Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the OSX app and the keybase device list and keybase login commands after resetting and recreating the account keys. Use log ID 15c71f250baafd063519be1c and the attached screenshot to trace the “device name already in use” error; done means login succeeds with the newly configured device.
