Description
I was trying to import a key using `keybase pgp select` and after choosing a key and entering the passphrase for the secret key I got another passphrase prompt:
```
Please enter the passphrase to unluck the secret key for: Device ""
Reason: sign new key:
```
It was really unclear to me what it was asking for. Eventually I found that it seemed to have been asking for my keybase passphrase. Could this be made more clear?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the `keybase pgp select` flow through key selection and the second passphrase prompt. Clarify the prompt so it identifies which passphrase is required, and verify that the resulting wording matches the intended request.
