Description

Hello everyone
I recently deleted the Keybase app from my mobile device. This was the only device I used to use with Keybase. Now I'm not able to add any other device and it looks like Keybase is forcing me to reset my account. I have been using Keybase for years now and wonder if I really need to reset my full account just because I deleted the app on a particular device. When I log into Keybase in my browser, is there any way I can add a new device or reactivate the old one?
Thanks a lot.
