How to get MD5 from debug.keystore file?

Question

I use some command to get MD5 private key from debug.keystore file but actually I get SHA1 private key instead of MD5. I do not know how to get MD5.

This is command that I use.

keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore (path_to_debug_keystore).keystore -storepass android -keypass android

It seems the v1.7 JDK is showing SHA1 by default instead of MD5 (I don't remember having this problem on my old PC). — whitey04, Oct 02 '11 at 00:22

Try to simply add a -v to your command. Then you will get fingerprints in MD5, SHA1 and SHA256. The MD5 one should be accepted by Google API Signup. =)

This is still not giving MD5 in the results, I am only getting SHA1 and SHA256. – Abhinav Saxena Sep 26 '18 at 07:27

When I did it I used this.

keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android -v

Looks like your keystore file isn't correct.

please add the -v option for future reference. This answer isn't correct, as it only replicates what the OP tried. Also, his file wasn't incorrect, because debug.keystore has more than one fingerprint. I really don't understand why this is the "correct" answer. – Guilherme David da Costa Nov 20 '12 at 03:49

This answer is obsolete, the "-v" option [no more prints MD5](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8249541) for JDK 8 and newer. – Alexander Farber Apr 27 '21 at 15:54

You do not need to downgrade your jdk!

You should add '-v' to your keytool command, as already suggested.

keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore

This is because you are using jdk7 which, unlike jdk6, does not print the MD5 certificate fingerprint by default.

The android documentation does not mention this (as per postdate)

This answer worked, but prompted me for a password. The password (as noted in other answers) is "android" – k2col Oct 22 '17 at 02:21
My command is : keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepas s android -keypass android , but it is not returning MD5, but only SHA1 and SHA256. – Abhinav Saxena Sep 26 '18 at 07:32

Thanks everyone. Now i got my MD5 private key. I used JDK7. For your reference,

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin>keytool.exe -list -v -keystore "C:\Documents
and Settings\Administrator\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass
android

This command does not give the MD5, only the defaults that is 'SHA'. – Abhinav Saxena Dec 05 '18 at 11:41

you have the right sintaxis, be sure where is your keystore file located...

this is my example:

keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Documents and Settings\jorgesys\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

and the result must be something like...

androiddebugkey, 25/09/2010, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5):
32:46:AA:56:D9:71:8B:2A:0B:34:A1:B6:96:1E:87:59

if you don't remember your user and password you will create another keystore...

keytool -genkey -v -keystore "C:\android\gruporeforma.keystore" -alias gruporeforma -keyalg RSA -validity 10000

If you are using Eclipse or ADT you can go to Preferences -> Android -> Build and there you will see your debug keystore MD5 and SHA1 fingerprints.

Make sure your are currently in jdk/bin in your terminal

For Linux or OS X, open a terminal window and enter the following:

keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

For Windows Vista and Windows 7, run:

keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

If you are successful in above step you will get:

@AbhinavSaxena do you have Android Studio installed right now? If yes open your project; at the right side click `Gradle > Your project > Tasks > Android > signingReport` and it will show similar thing above. – Enzokie Sep 26 '18 at 07:25
Yes it is working there. But what is the command it must be issuing there? – Abhinav Saxena Sep 26 '18 at 07:38
@AbhinavSaxena I can't answer that sorry. – Enzokie Sep 26 '18 at 07:39
In the output using my command line, it is showing version as 1 in the last line. In yours it is 'version: 3'. – Abhinav Saxena Sep 26 '18 at 07:41
I don't know how to produce the version code but if I remember correctly I am using OpenJDK. – Enzokie Sep 26 '18 at 07:46
It is not working: on my console, where the version is --> java version "10.0.2" 2018-07-17 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.2+13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.3 (build 10.0.2+13, mixed mode) – Abhinav Saxena Sep 26 '18 at 09:09

Thanks for everyone. I can generate my MD5 private key. I know the some problem. If I use java version 7, I will get SHA1 but when I downgrade java version such as jdk1.6, I will also get MD5.

I saw that answer in the link:

How to get 'MD5' instance from keystore instead of 'SHA' ?

Reason being, in the other answers, the command line is used to get the SHA, MD5, but a program can elaborate to explicitly get the MD5 instance from a signature. In the above case, you are specifying SHA, hence you will get SHA only.

Happy Coding :-)
