DEBUG:
Click on the Gradle tab on the right hand side of the view.
Go to the ROOT folder -> Tasks -> android -> signingReport
Double click, this will build with the signingReport and post in your bottom view your SHA1.
RELEASE:
In android studio. Build -> Generate Signed APK... and click Next
Copy your key store path and key alias.
Traverse to the "bin" folder of the jdk path present in Java.
Open terminal and enter:
keytool -list -v -keystore "key store path" -alias "key alias"
Enter your key password and this will print out your release SHA1.

1I'm using Android Studio 4.0 (20 May 2020). Under Build, there is no 'Generate Signed APK'. Instead, it shows "Flutter, Make Module, Run Generate Sources Grade Tasks, Make Module (again), Analyze APK, Deploy Module to App Engine, Rebuild Project" plus some greyed out options. Searching 'Help' for keystore or 'key store' yields nothing useful. Has Android Studio changed in 2020? – Mark Ebden Jul 07 '20 at 17:16

Open the android module using android studio and you will find the options mentioned in this answer. When we open flutter projects, these tasks are not available and it is correct behaviour. These tools only show up when there is an android based project opened in the IDE – prasadsunny1 Jul 22 '20 at 09:08

Use can you terminal inside Android Studio (or IntelliJ) instead of terminal – Enigmo96 Mar 18 '21 at 08:59
UPDATE:
In the new Google Developer console, it can be found at Setup -> App Integrity.
OLD ANSWER:
Here is the new easiest way to find release SHA-1 or other certificates:
I assume that you have already built signed APK and uploaded it to developer console. Open google play console. Go to "Version Management", go to "Application Signing" and see your certificates.
Note: First google will ask you to activate "Application Signing" for your application.

1Thank you. This is what I needed to figure out what my SHA1 key was after it had been signed as an App Bundle. Firebase Auth needed the SHA1 fingerprint to have been registered and I couldn't find where to see it. – fahadayaz May 28 '19 at 22:53

@HimanshuTiwari As per google : This is the public certificate for the app signing key that Google Play uses to sign your app before distributing it to Android devices. The app signing key itself is inaccessible and kept on a secure Google server. Use the certificate below to register your app signing key with your API providers. This means that the app signing key available in the dashboard may change if google decides to re-sign it . But our own app signing will always remain the same . Did you consider this scenario ?? – ArpitA Oct 31 '19 at 15:17

Thank you! After hours of searching, found your answer, and it fixed my issues. Thank again – Hisham Mubarak Jun 14 '20 at 19:30
For Debug Keystore
keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
For release Keys
keytool -list -v -keystore {keystore_path_with_name} -alias {alias_name}

The entire process of generating certificate fingerprints SHA-1, SHA-256, MD5 for DEBUG as well as RELEASE are divided into the following 3 steps,
- Create keystore properties
- Load keystore To Gradle
- Execute Gradle Task
For genertaing SHA-1 key for release build variant, you have to add signingConfigs for release in your main module's build.gradle file.

Step 1 ) Add release details in gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "app.devdeeds.com.yourapplication"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 24
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
//Signing configurations for build variants "release"
signingConfigs {
release {
storeFile file("F:/Development/myapp.jks")
storePassword "231232das"
keyAlias "myapp_rel"
keyPassword "dasd333_das"
}
}
buildTypes {
//link above defined configuration to "release" build type
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0'
}
Step 2) open gradle menu from right menu bar and then app > android > signingReport
Step 3) Click on signingReport and see the magic

For those who wants to generate release-apk SHA-1, SHA-256 and MD5 through Android Studio, follow these steps:
- Goto Project Structure -> Default Config -> Signing Config and then add "RELEASE SHA1" using details provided during Generate-Signed-Apk. For e.g.,
- Now set your Signing Config to $signingConfigs.'RELEASE SHA1'
- Finally, change your build variant to release mode and run signingReport to generate Keys in release mode.
Hope that, this would definitely generate the release-apk KEYS in easiest way.

Here is simplest way to find SHA1 key Just open the terminal and Type follwing command
keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
you found SHA1 key Like follow
SHA1: A1:A2:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:AA:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:A8:B2:00
thank you.
