Description

I am trying a simple encrypt / decrypt test on my mac but its not accepting my credentials. I tried keybase reset, and then keybase logout and login and the same credentials work just fine. The same credentials work just fine on the website. The issue seems to be just happening using the keybase cli.

Research direction

Review the submitted log using ID bb92e2674191a9814c9be81c and reproduce the simple encrypt/decrypt test with the Keybase CLI on macOS. Compare the CLI behavior with the successful login and website use; done means the failing credential-handling step is identified and the CLI accepts the credentials or reports the correct cause.
