On Windows 10+, importing discoverable (aka resident) SSH keys from FIDO2 devices and connecting using one requires the administrator privileges.
To start the app as administrator, follow these steps:
- Close Termius, if it's currently open.
- Right-click the Termius shortcut and choose 'Run as administrator'.
Note: Starting from Windows 10 1909 (18363 build number), Windows requires admin permissions or using Windows Hello for connecting to FIDO2 devices.

I followed these steps on Windows 11, but I get this error when I try to Import a FIDO2 key
Same problem, using Termius version 7.59.2.
Tried on Windows 11 and Windows 10. Both computers fully updated, YubiKey and YubiKey Manager working.
I am unable to import keys too, running as admin user with UAC elevation. I am able to log-in to hosts with security key and generate keys.
Termius 7.59.7, Win11Pro, Yubikey 5C NFC (FIDO2 PIN configured)
