Description

Hi,

I signed up for the first time to keybase using Safari. I used the "suggested password". As usual Safari offered to remember my password.

When I went to log in again, keybase said the password was not valid. Same with when I tried to generate a public key.

I reset my password and tried again and same.

I reset again and this typed manually typed in a password. This worked.

Not supporting Safari/suggested password/keychange on MacOS is pretty much going to be a killer for the app. I almost gave up and thought, this is rubbish.

Recommend you fix.

Research direction

Reproduce the flow in Safari on macOS: sign up with Safari’s suggested password, then try login and public-key generation, comparing with a manually typed password. Done means the suggested password works consistently for signup, login, and key generation; the issue names no files or tests, so locate the relevant entry point from those flows.
