Description

The paper key process after the initial login is broken.

Because I didn't have an actual piece of paper with me when I tried the app (and writing down things like that on paper is a weird idea anyway) I opened 1Password to create a secure note there. Unfortunately, when I returned to Keybase the app had already silently moved on to the next screen without me having confirmed anything.

Research direction

Start by locating the iOS paper-key flow and reproduce it by switching to another app before confirming the key. Trace what happens when returning to Keybase; done means the paper-key screen remains available until the user explicitly confirms or cancels it.
