Description

Trying to login in my account but just showing this error:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-precise-64:/vagrant$ keybase login
Your keybase username or email address: sidneicarlos
▶ ERROR Error in reverse signature: Failed to verify/extract sig: Message wasn't signed
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-precise-64:/vagrant$

I've installed keybase in new virtual machine and got the same error.

my log id: 1df866bd9b7e86fdd202071c

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with keybase login in the new Ubuntu virtual machine and review the log identified by 1df866bd9b7e86fdd202071c. Trace the reverse-signature verification path from the login command, then determine why the response is reported as unsigned. Done means login completes successfully or the error is replaced with a clear actionable failure.
