I wish Keybase had a couple of extra features:

Ability to use it as an SSO authority. You could grant certain access to new employees, who have already proven their identity in Keybase. Imagine having your own identity that can be given roles by multiple organizations.

Ability for Bitwarden to use Keybase as its store.

A way to store your homedir in Keybase's filesystem.

A way to use Keybase as a development space. Imagine Alice gets a job at Corporation X. She's given the "programmer" role. That automatically makes Docker images, Jenkins access, Artifactory access, Git repos, other relevant software, all through KBFS. You could even use KBFS as the store for Jenkins and Artifactory. As Keybase already has PGP/GPG support built in, signing commits in Git would also work smoothly.

(I really like Keybase, I just hope it can continue to grow, fix bugs, and add features)



The SSO thing really needs to happen. Its perfect for it.

There was already research done on this by a third party. And they showed that it works but didn't open anything up as far as I know.
