Description

I've just tried this twice now and logged out/in to verify I'm not crazy-

The https://keybase.io/account/email_and_passphrase page is not letting me change my passphrase. It's claiming `Bad current passphrase`:

FTR: I entered my current passphrase correctly.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the passphrase-change flow at the reported account/email_and_passphrase page, using the attached screenshot and the report's claim that the current passphrase is correct. Trace where the `Bad current passphrase` result is produced and define done as accepting a valid current passphrase and allowing the change to proceed.
