Hello,
I don’t see any option to import current SSH keys, when I click on the + button then SSH key, it automatically generating a new one and I don’t see any Paste button to import one.
I saw the following article : Bitwarden SSH Agent | Bitwarden but I don’t see the same button.
It’s only showing this :
How can I import keys please?
Thanks.

### Screenshots or Videos
_No response_
### Additional Context
Using OPENSSH ed25519 key.
### Operating System
Windows
### Operating System Version
Windows 10
### Installation method
Direct Download (from bitwarden.com)
### Build Version
2026.1.0
### Issue Tracking Info
- [x] 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.
According to some comments there, the “import” button is available in “Edit item” mode, so this might be a workaround for the time being.
