Description
It would be nice if keybase login could be set to require a PGP 'card' (such as a Yubikey) - and logout when the card's removed.
I suppose this ought to be automate-able by a third-party tool, since if the necessary key is kept only on the card, then triggering a logout when it's removed would be sufficient for it to be required to login again, I believe? So completely understand if it's not something you're interested in including.
Use case I'm thinking of in particular is locking down KBFS - I've been toying around with a password manager using KBFS as the store (OJFord/passbase) and I was thinking it would be neat to require a PGP card in order to read passwords; then I thought that really that's the wrong level for it to be implemented at - it would be useful over the FS as a whole.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing keybase login and logout flows and the KBFS access path; no files or tests are identified in the issue. Done means login can require an OpenPGP card and card removal causes logout, with the behavior covered by appropriate tests.
