Two physical devices seen as one device in Keybase, successfully logged into both

Open jdmallen opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I was logged into Keybase on my Google Pixel 5. I just received a new Google Pixel 9 Pro, and as part of the initial setup had Google copy data from my Pixel 5.

When I launched Keybase, it already knew I was "jdmallen" and asked me to sign in. After I provided my password, I was immediately presented the home screen. I thought this was a bit weird, since I usually have to explicitly add a device using an existing device or paper code. When I pulled up the Devices tab in the app, I saw that both phones self-identify as the same device.

This feels like a serious bug. I tried reporting this on Hacktivity, but it appears to be a 404 now.

I have not done anything with Keybase yet just in case y'all want me to try something. I have a feeling if I clear storage and reinstall, it'll have me set up the new phone like normal.
