Steps to reproduce
Try adding a key with the -c (confirmation) option, it will fail with "agent refused operation"
PS C:\Users\myuser> ssh-add -c $env:USERPROFILE/.ssh/mykey
Enter passphrase for C:\Users\myuser/.ssh/mykey (will confirm each use):
Could not add identity "C:\Users\myuser/.ssh/mykey": agent refused operation
Expected behavior
ssh agent should not refuse this operation (-> it should support it)
Actual behavior
buggy or likely not supported at all, even though the option is there on ssh-add?

-c relies on ssh-askpass, which does not have a direct Windows equivalent, so this is not supported currently.
We can improve the error message to make this clearer.

thanks, improving the error message would be a good first usability improvement, but what about adding a ssh-askpass equivalent for Windows? That would give improved security, can that be noted as a feature request?
