Description

This may be a duplicate of #6962

Steps:

  1. Fresh install/new user (account created via web, no other devices used)
  2. Log it, get to the paper key screen
  3. Lock the screen
  4. Unlock

Now you're back at the main screen and the paper key gone. I was expecting that since there is a switch to confirm that I wrote down the key all will be fine.

  1. Revoke the paper key
  2. Revoke the device
  3. Log in: "eldest called on user with existing eldest KID"

Removing app data does not help, neither does reinstalling.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the fresh-install flow through the paper key screen, screen lock, paper-key revocation, device revocation, and subsequent login. Compare the behavior and discussion with issue #6962; done means the described login error is resolved and the paper-key confirmation state remains consistent after unlocking.
