Keybase users, lock down your account!🔒In "lockdown mode", all security-sensitive features require an authorized device, and are unavailable on the Web site. Like 2FA, but no fumbling for a 6-digit code. keybase.io/docs/lockdown/…

New and exciting job post for Keybase. Join us!

That was something, Several Cosmos - The Interchain ⚛️ block explorers out of nowhere started sourcing their avatars from keybase, keyed by bottom 8 bytes of PGP key IDs, even though they know keybase profile names. Not a traffic pattern we were expecting!

We hired NCC Group Research & Technology to audit Keybase. Their team did an outstanding job, and the report is public: keybase.io/docs-assets/bl…

crypto as in cryptography

New Keybase release with sweet oft-requested features: custom emojis, and crypto functions (encrypt/decrypt/verify/sign) on mobile. Amazing work as always by this team!

It’s an unusual time to celebrate anything, but we’re unveiling a new project today, and I want my team to know I’m so proud of them. Please check out Keybase Book, our latest project. book.keybase.io

Hi friends, Happy New Year! We are aware of an outage and working on a fix.

Small update: macOS builds are working again, but the updater is busted, for the same reason the app stopped working. So re-download Keybase from Keybase.io and reinstall. We're working on the other apps as fast as we can. Also, KBFS is still down.

Windows app released with fix. As with macOS, the updater won't work, so you'll need to download a new app from Keybase.io. KBFS is back up and running.

(BTW, the root cause of the outage was that the root CA we ship with the Keybase client expired after 10 years of valiant service. We have some internal dependencies on Keybase working, so recovery was complicated.)

Looks for updated iOS, Android and Linux apps to be released soon. Get them via app stores (or package managers) as normal.

Updated Android app available via Google Play store. Updated Linux app available from your package managers as usual. They should both work now. We're waiting on Apple to review and approve the iOS app, and then all versions should be fixed.

Keybase will be unavailable tonight starting at 9:30pm ET for scheduled maintenance. We anticipate a few hours of downtime.

Pretty smooth upgrade last night, but we hit some issues with KBFS this morning. KBFS will be in read-only mode until Merkle Trees are rebuilt. Might take up to 24 hours. Thanks for your patience.

Last week we celebrated the 10th anniversary of our Merkle Tree. 🎂🎂 Happy Birthday Keybase. Thanks to the whole team for keeping this thing chugging. keybase.io/_/api/1.0/merk…
