Description

When I opened my computer today I was greeted with a "Keybase helper update" pop-up. I entered my admin user and password to install the updated and the pop-up just keeps coming back. I tried to install Keybase.app again over the existing install and this did not help.

macOS 10.13.6

Research direction

Start by reproducing the recurring “Keybase helper update” prompt with Keybase.app on macOS 10.13.6, then investigate the helper update or installer behavior. Done means the update completes once without repeatedly requesting administrator credentials.
