Description

I did a keybase account long ago. It seems at this time it did not require a passphrase (or maybe I lost it).
Now I still have the gpg key and my account exists on keybase.io.

If I do `keybase login my-name` I don't see any option to identify using my gpg key.

So is the "account reset" only option ? Or can I login using my gpg key. I didn't found any documentation !

Research direction

Start by reading the documentation for `keybase login`, GPG-key handling, and account reset or recovery. Confirm whether an existing key is supported and document the supported recovery path and limitations; the issue is done when a newcomer can follow the account-recovery steps.
