SSH Key Usage - "Unknown Application" Popup

[navtoj]

Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to 'Terminal'
2. Run a command that uses SSH key from Bitwarden.
3. Go to 'Confirm SSH key usage' dialog.
4. Click on 'Authorize' to allow "Unknown application".
5. Run the command that uses SSH key from Bitwarden, again.
6. Popup appears again :(

Expected Result

Bitwarden should NOT ask me to give access every single time I run the command.

Actual Result

Bitwarden asks me to give access every single time I run the command.

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of GitHub. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
