keybase login failure on 0.0.31 #128

This is with a passphrase that is known to be good. Used same passphrase to login on the machine where I created the key. Error occurs on the second machine on which I installed keybase. Advise if further debug info needed.

I think I understand what is going on. The client is trying to pull your key from the server and after is does so, is trying to decrypt with the same password you used to login. I think in your case you used a different passphrase to lock your public key.

Try keybase pull? On Mar 7, 2014 10:10 PM, "Tony Becker" notifications@github.com wrote:

Sorry, to lock your private key. On Mar 8, 2014 12:00 AM, "Maxwell Krohn" themax@gmail.com wrote:

Partly right. I did use a different passphrase to lock the private key, but doing keybase pull still fails with the same error. Is it automatically trying to use the same passphrase, and not giving me a chance to enter a different passphrase?

I also used a different password on keybase and to lock my private key, neither keybase login or keybase pull works, both fail with error: Signature mismatch or bad decryption key. I had to copy ~/.config/keybase and ~/.gnupg from backup.

I'm also having the same problem, except on version 0.7.3 of the keybase node-client.

I also get the same error when i run keybase pull after I've logged in. My keybase passphrase and private key passphrase are different, for the record.

I also had the same issue, to get around I did

$ keybase pull
Your keybase login passphrase (to pull your private key from the server): 
# key passphrase, not login
info: Pulled secret key...

The wording of prompt is misleading. I guess it's making the assumption that your keybase passphrase is the same as your private key passphrase.
