Description

I've been on keybase for years using a private subkey.

When trying to login with keybase app i get the error:

"ERROR Bad key found: no private key material or GPGKey"

I've tried removing and re-adding my secret key, but still same issue.

Is it because i'm using a subkey?

Thanks in advance
