Steps To Reproduce
I have detailed steps on form: https://community.bitwarden.com/t/desktop-app-constantly-prompting-for-ssh-key-acceptance/101623/3
Expected Result
Should not be prompting when unlock unless an app is specifically requesting key. This issue is not visible if “reminder selection” is enabled.
Actual Result
Keeps prompting whenever you unlock the Desktop vault. The only way to stop it is to quit Bitwarden and then reopen.
