I've tried, but it still doesn't support yubikeys/smartcards. So people send me messages on keybase chat, but I can't decrypt them :(

- Snawoot 9y agoI use Yubikey 4 with keybase too and my GPG key is stored on smartcard. As far as I know Keybase uses device keys for encryption which are independent from your PGP key (but they are cross-signed if you have PGP key added to your profile). Everything is working well for me. Probably your issues caused by some immature version of app or server API.
- cjbprime 9y agoHi, I work at Keybase. There actually is some Yubikey support. But it's not relevant here, because chats use per-device keys, not your PGP key.
- diafygi 9y agoRight, so how can I decrypt the chats you sende email notifications about if my base pgp key is on a smartcard?
- bluehatbrit 9y agoThe messages are encrypted with your device keys, so you need to be on one of your attached devices. That'll be either a desktop, or mobile device attached to your keybase account.
- cjbprime 9y agoIt will just work. Your PGP key isn't a "base" key, the device keys are. Your PGP key is only used for PGP operations. https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-new-key-model https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-new-key-model
