Whoa. I didn't know that. Even though my trust of Zoom isn't completely eliminated (yet), that absolutely negates my reasons for using keybase.

Granted, I haven't used it in a while because they put me in a position where recovering my account is impossible.



You should be able to reset your account to negate all your keys and set things back up if you lost access to all previous devices.

I ended up doing this anyway in the end, after deleting everything I could before I stopped using it.

They do make you wait seven days before you can do it after you make the request.

I still have the account because I don't want to lose access to my username (didn't delete it), but it's otherwise empty and unused with fresh keys that have no history with anything.


Can you elaborate on how keybase put you in that position?

If by 'recovering' you mean recover after a lost key, then I'd regard that as a feature not a bug!

Am looking for a keybase alternative now.
