Add generation of custom-named SSH Keys for 'Authentication' section
Why:
Closes #19166
What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):
Advising user to create a SSH key with custom name instead of default name, as this last one can conflict with another previously created SSH keys, although using the default name and location is still a possibility. Changing this for Mac, Linux and Windows, as the location for each of them is different.
