Description

I reinstalled my pc and when i try to enter my paper key the window closes and nothing seems to happen. No notice has been given if it went right or wrong. After a minute or so it asks me to open keybase on one of my other devices, which i can because i deleted them already.

Side note: i tried to ignore the message becasue it was to late at night to search my paper key but it just reopened constantly asking to enter my key. This behavior stopped after i quit the applications 3 times.

Research direction

Done means the paper key is accepted or a clear failure message explains why it was rejected, without repeatedly prompting for another device.
