Description
1. Downloaded win client
2. Signed up (set name for win device)
3. Set passphrase
4. Tried to edit device name. Couldn't find where so deleted device.
5. Now, can't log in via Windows client... ERROR: Cannot add a new device when all existing devices are revoked. Reset your account on keybase.io. Error code 218: GENERIC in method keybase.1.login.login
6. Went to keybase.io, can't find where to reset account.
7. Found Edit account details...
8. Get msg "Your account is in lockdown mode. You can change your e-mail or password in the Keybase client."
9. So basically stuck.
Bottom line, can still log into the website but not the windows client.
Thanks.

Research direction
Start with the Windows client login flow after a device has been deleted or revoked, then compare it with the account controls on keybase.io, especially Edit account details. Reproduce the error and trace the reset or recovery path; done means affected users can regain Windows client access or receive a clear, available recovery route.
