Description

Hi,

After installing the keybase client, and running the command: 'keybase login' and entering my username, before I can enter my passphrase I receive the error:

error: in KDF: Failed due to scrubbed key!

OS: Windows 8.1 x64

Research direction

Reproduce the failure on Windows 8.1 x64 by installing the Keybase client and running `keybase login` with the reported username flow. Start by tracing the KDF path associated with “Failed due to scrubbed key!”; done means the command reaches passphrase entry and completes login without that error.
