Description

Hey Keybase team, I have a question regarding the API. I am developing a simple desktop app for Keybase, but I have already hit a road block while trying to login via the API. After sending a login request, I am returned with the status code 202. The description for this code is as follows: "Failed to purepack.unpack". Lastly, the "name" I am given is "BAD_SESSION". I am just wondering what I have done wrong.

Thanks,
systemCTL.
