Description
When I try to login I get the follwoing Error and advice:
ERROR in Login
Sorry, your account is already established with a PGP public key, but this
utility cannot access the corresponding private key. You need to prove
you're you. We suggest one of the following:
- install GPG and put your PGP private key on this machine and try again
- reset your account and start fresh: https://keybase.io/#account-reset
I have gpg installed and the private key to my keybase.io key is also available in my local keychain.
Is there any way to debug how you try to call gpg and what gpgs error message is?
gpg --list-secret-keys --fingerprint dirkjaeckel
gpg: Note: signatures using the MD5 algorithm are rejected
