Description

Hey guys,
I'm running into the following loop, even though I was using this device when signed up first.
It worth to mention that I have installed the Keybase using the .dmg file, then reinstalled it via Terminal and can't login now. Could you please help?
It requires me to authorize device, but when I click Resolve it redirects me to the same screen over and over again.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the device-authorization loop after installing Keybase from the .dmg and then reinstalling it via Terminal. Trace the Resolve flow from the repeated authorization screen and compare both installation paths. Done means the affected device can complete authorization without being redirected back to the same screen.
