Description

I apologize for a possible duplication. I have not found a way to search keybase-issues.

When I first set up my Keybase.io account, the claims and proof concerning my key pair was visible on the end of keybase.io/orcmid. Now it has disappeared.

I would like to see the claim and proof that the account holder has authority over the private key of the public key published by keybase.io. I would think an useful way would be to provide a link to the right of the fingerprint link on the account page, just as for the github, twitter, and web property proofs.

Research direction

The report concerns the keybase.io/orcmid account page, where the key-pair claim and proof disappeared. Start by checking that account page and its fingerprint link; done means the account holder's authority over the published public key is visible again, ideally through a nearby link like the existing GitHub, Twitter, and web-property proofs.
