I'm trying to add a new system to Keybase and I do not have access to the old system to use that as a verification process. I'm using the sponsor share that I generated and have used successfully in the past with 11 key words. When I use this again I get the above listed error. `Bad passphrase: Not enough words entered for a paper key. Please try again.

keybase version 1.0.37-20171208170249+025062c3a
"Linux Mint 18.3"

@patrickxb it's 13 words, right?

Yes, 13.

Ah, I was using just the key words, didn't prefix it with the first two words that describe the paper key type. Thanks for the enlightenment.

👍 Maybe the app should give better errors

Might be a good enhancement, respond back that the proper number of words is 13 and that it begins with the key type.
