Description

Howdy!

My subkey expired. So I added a new one, updated on the website, and tried to login, but...

$ keybase login mikeboers
▶ WARNING Checking status of key 0101744632bd95760eb6a205d689393290ded64bfa566bc17d3a844a2c9edecae5b40a
    with respect to time [Tue Feb 7 08:34:25 -0500 EST 2017],
    found it had expired at [Mon Aug 8 01:34:36 -0400 EDT 2016].
▶ ERROR Key expired: The key '0101744632bd95760eb6a205d689393290ded64bfa566bc17d3a844a2c9edecae5b40a' expired at 2016-08-08 01:34:36 -0400 EDT

This at least is a different message from my login attempt before adding a new subkey. Hopefully the log (IDed below) will help.

Cheers,

Mike

Research direction

Start by reproducing keybase login mikeboers with the updated subkey and inspect log ID fe9a6c7a00ccae1725b7211c. Trace how login checks key expiration after a website key update; done means the current subkey is accepted and login no longer reports the expired key.
