Perhaps the issue is that I deleted keybase off my PC and I log in through keybase.io? I can see I have 2 devices in account and various keys.I downloaded the software but it asked me to confirm with another device and then I am stuck?Thank youSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. I do not see the functionality with keybase to add a device. There's no bluetooth involved here it will present a QR code for you to scan from your phone. On your PC that has keybase you need to got to Devices > Add Device FROM THE KEYBASE APPLICATION - not from your OS. I then tried my laptop instead and logged in to key base repeated whole process again and linked my phone to Laptop via bluetooth but again nothing on the PC happens I have a barcode on phone or a secret phrase option but nothing going on on the PC or Laptop. Here I am stuck ? I proceeded by trying to connect my phone to my PC via bluetooth? but no luck. I then get a screen saying 'On home computer, go to Devices Add Device New Phone. It then asks I set a public name for this phone: pick a device name. As I am on my phone I choose home computer. Which of your existing devices would you like to choose' I then get a message 'For security reasons, you need to authorise with an existing device. On phone I choose log in, enter my user name. Needed to reinstall keybase app on phone as had deleted it. However, in the context of an end-to-end encrypted communications application like Keybase, the failure takes on added weight, Jackson wrote.I logged in to keybase on my PC and can see I have 2 devices. In most cases, the failure to remove files from cache after they were deleted would count as a 'low priority' security flaw. Users can help keep themselves secure by applying current updates or downloading the latest Keybase software with all current security updates,' the spokesman said. 'We addressed the issue identified by the Sakura Samurai researchers on our Keybase platform in version 5.6.0 for Windows and macOS and version 5.6.1 for Linux. In a statement, a Zoom spokesman said that the company appreciates the work of the researchers and takes privacy and security 'very seriously.' The application used a custom extension to name the files, but they were easily viewable directly or simply by changing the custom file extension to the PNG image format, researcher John Jackson told Security Ledger. Sakura Samurai researchers Aubrey Cottle, Robert Willis, and Jackson Henry discovered an unencrypted directory, /Cache, associated with the Keybase client that contained a comprehensive record of images from encrypted chat sessions. It comes as millions of users have flocked to apps like Keybase, Signal and Telegram in recent months. However, it could put their security, privacy and safety at risk, especially for users living under authoritarian regimes in which apps like Keybase and Signal are increasingly relied on as a way to conduct conversations out of earshot of law enforcement or security services. The flaw in the encrypted messaging application, CVE-2021-23827 does not expose Keybase users to remote compromise. Chicksdaddy writes: The Security Ledger reports that a flaw in Zoom's Keybase secure chat application left copies of images contained in secure communications on Keybase users' computers after they were supposedly deleted, according to researchers from the security research group Sakura Samurai.
