A year passes - Did anyone sort this out? I have this issue as well.

This comment worked for me (as long as you are comfortable storing your private key in keybase): https://github.com/keybase/client/pull/17307#issuecomment-558860752

@deybhayden I moved to another system now and can't help to reproduce this anymore :(

Doesnt work for me. It prompts to enter passphrase to export the OpenPGP secret key: ..... I tried all passphrases that I have but no luck. Why this is so difficult?

Can we reset all of this? If someone forget their password, how to recover from this in keybase?
