Client: Feature Request: Logging into multiple keybase accounts locally

[RyanSinger]

Inspired by the Coinbase account on keybase, I decided to make an account for my new startup as well. Unfortunately, when I tried to log in locally, I got this error:

Ryans-MBP:ryan_singer ryan$ keybase login blockchainhealth
How would you like to sign this install of Keybase?


(1) Use an existing device
(2) Use a paper key
(3) Use my Keybase passphrase
(4) Use GPG
Choose a signing option: 3
Enter a public name for this device: Ryan's MBP
▶ ERROR bad signature: Wrong local user: got 'blockchainhealth' but wanted 'ryan_singer' (error 1002)
Ryans-MBP:ryan_singer ryan$

This should work though you found a bug it seems. Try logout and then login
again to try it out?

I figured it out. Not sure where the bug is, but it's working now.

Hi @RyanSinger,

I was able to reproduce your bug. Thanks for the report! Will fix now. In the meantime, the way around this would be to run keybase logout before keybase login blockchainhealth above.

Thanks again!

Judging by the topic, I would close this as a duplicate of https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/8586.

We snuck support for this feature in with the last release via the CLI. Try keybase login -s username. Full support coming soon.
