Description

Hi,

My old desktop died, and I don't have the original paper key for my account. Is there a way I can remove all existing devices, and re-add a paper key, without the need to completely reset my account? I don't want to have to go through the verification steps again, nor go through the "pain" of following people.

Can I prove my ID with you folks by signing something with my private key that's associated with my keybase account?

Cheers

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by determining whether account recovery can remove devices and re-add a paper key without resetting verification or follows; done would require a documented, supported path for proving identity with the associated private key.
