Description
I did not want the private key saved on your servers. Also, thought it was terrible that I was unable to copy the public key (from the mac app) and now do not know where it saved the private key :/

Research direction
The issue concerns generated key handling in the mac app, including private-key storage and public-key copying. Start by reproducing key generation on macOS and determine where the private key is saved and whether the public key can be copied. Done means both behaviors are clear and the reported copy problem is resolved.
