Description
▶ ERROR in Login
The server rejected your login attempt.
If you'd like to reset your passphrase, go to https://keybase.io/#password-reset
Password is pasted from pass directly into the pinentry dialog.
The exact same password copied into my clipboard from pass works fine when pasted on the keybase website.

Research direction
The reported entry point is the Go client's pinentry dialog; start by reproducing the login with the same password pasted from pass and compare it with the website behavior. Done means the client accepts the password consistently, or the password-handling discrepancy is identified and covered by a regression test.
