Description
I have SSH agent provided by password manager installed, but for pgAdmin SSH tunnel, I want it to use SSH identity file specified. However, pgAdmin will try to access every SSH identity provided by the agent, which is disturbing (I have to click deny multiple times) and increases security concerns.
Additional Context:
Windows 11
pgAdmin 4 9.13

Research direction
Start by locating pgAdmin's SSH tunnel setup and its handling of password or identity-file options. Reproduce the issue on Windows 11 with an SSH agent enabled; done means specifying either credential prevents attempts to access identities supplied by the agent.
