Description

It bothers me that Keybase keeps me logged in after my computer has gone to sleep or has been locked. I would like keybase to request reauthorization on demand the next time I use Keybase after an OSX login. An expiry would be good to. Maybe a similar model to how 1Password works.

I understand this would be annoying for everyday users, so maybe these can be advanced options?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Keybase's macOS session and reauthorization handling, then clarify how lock, sleep, login, optional settings, and expiry should interact; done means the behavior and configuration are specified and covered by tests.
