Description

See http://take.ms/xW5J6
The label on the screen reads Keybase passphrase. I thought I need to invent some passphrase to encode my private key here. Actually it requires my existing Keybase.io password.

Research direction

Review the upload-encrypted-private-key screen shown in the linked screenshot and locate the Keybase passphrase label. Confirm the screen expects the existing Keybase.io password, then update the wording so users do not think they should invent a passphrase. Done means the label clearly describes the required password.
