Description
I have an existing Keybase account. After installing the client, I am able to enter my Keybase login, password and enter a device name.
I selected the Terminal option for entering my GPG passphrase. There was a problem (fat fingers?) and now it won't let me retry entering my passphrase. Closing and re-opening the client results in the same issue - I can enter username, Keybase pwd, device name but then I am not given the option to enter my GPG passphrase.
"GPG error: exit status 2"
