When importing FIDO keys from ssh-keygen -K, it writes them in the current directory and named something like 'ed25519_sk_rk'. These require renaming and moving to ~/.ssh/ed25519_sk for use.

It would be good if it prompted you for a location to save them similar to regular ssh-keygen.

This is mostly desired behaviour, because we don't know the user's intention with these keys
