Description

My setup got interrupted, and I believe that is the reason that I can not log in. I get a spinning icon when I try to enter my username: https://www.dropbox.com/s/721il8t7inynxta/Screenshot%202017-01-13%2012.53.38.png?dl=0 is a screenshot.

Would it be best to delete my account and let me start over from my invite? In the boo boo during setup, I also lost my password. I do, however still have my magic phrase.

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.18-20161219185928+7868d49

Research direction

The report names no source file or test; begin by reproducing the spinning username screen in Keybase GUI version 1.0.18 after an interrupted setup. Trace the login and account-recovery flow using the retained magic phrase, and confirm whether a supported recovery or reset path lets the user log in without losing the account.
