I can't import an ed25519-sk or ecdsa-sk FIDO2 key on Windows

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:

  1. Close Termius, if it's currently open.
  2. 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.
