Description

[cross-posted to [client issues](https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/24224#issue-638931561)]

I cannot login to keybase on *any* platform! When attempting to do so, I receive some variation of an error message indicating that there is a "BAD_SESSION":

### iOS:

Research direction

Start by reviewing the cross-posted client issue and reproducing the BAD_SESSION and “Failure in verify PDPKA5” errors on iOS and keybase.io. The issue names no repository files or tests; done would require identifying the shared authentication failure and confirming that login works across the affected platforms.
