Description

hi, i realise this isn't a bug, but i couldn't find any other way of asking for help and i need halp.

this: https://keybase.io/chee is definitely me

there is the tell-tale location of `imternet`, the "hello" at the start of the bio, and the "sugar free pink lemonade energy drink" mentioned was a flavour of Boost that i went through a phase of drinking several thousand cans of every day.

however, i apparently never added a key. i also can't figure out what email address i used. if i try to recover it i don't get a recovery email on any address i'm currently logged in to, and entering various email addresses told me "user not found"

is there something that can be done? i'd quite like to have this username as it's what computers call me

Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points; begin by reviewing the account-recovery path for the linked Keybase profile and the missing key or email context. Done would require a maintainer to identify an authorized recovery path or clarify that recovery is not possible.
