Description

I just had to give my work laptop to the Desktop group to fix a problem and was reflecting that they would have access to my desktop. It would be nice to be able to click on the device in my devices list and say 'Disable' so they couldn't get into my keybase folders/chats/etc. Then when I get it back just re-enable it.

Was just a thought

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing device list and device access controls, then determine how a temporary disable should affect Keybase folders and chats. Done should mean a user can disable one device and later re-enable it, with access blocked during the disabled period.
