Description
Keybase's bio field is a textarea. You can put line breaks in it, but line breaks are stripped out on display.
Not sure which way the intention is, but if the intention is to allow them, they should work; if the intention is not to allow them, then it shouldn't be possible to insert them.
My vote is to allow them. Maybe allow a limited number of them; perhaps two, to allow two short paragraphs but no more. (Of course I'm biased, because that's as many as I want for mine!) But in any case, the display and the input should match.

Research direction
Start by locating the bio textarea and the code that renders the bio, then compare how line breaks are handled on input and display. Resolve the intended line-break policy first; the work is done when the input behavior and displayed bio agree, including any agreed limit on line breaks.
