Description

I have reset my old device (iPhone) and restored from the backup. During this process my key base account was logged out.

Now I'm not able to add new device or login from any command line utility. Luckily I have access to keybase account via browser. However, there is not that much use of it as this is not helping me in authenticating the new device.

Can someone help with this?
