I second this. For the record, it looks like this may have been introduced in newer versions? GitHub Desktop is the application causing the pain for me (since it seems to poll in the background for updates). Whenever I come back to my computer each morning I have 10+ SSH requests to dismiss.
In earlier versions with the SSH feature, this wouldn't happen and I would only get one request whenever GitHub Desktop next requested my SSH key while I was actively using my computer.
The natural solution to me seems to just replace requests inside a queue as they come in. So if one request comes in and I haven't responded to it by the time the second request comes in, cancel the first request and present the confirmation for only the second request. If the second request is never responded to by the time the third request comes in, replace that one etc etc.
