I hope that you first downloaded _OpenSSL_ tool. Then did you check [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7506392/how-to-create-android-facebook-key-hash)? — Piyush, Jan 17 '19 at 12:01
I was generating keyhash in PowerShell of windows, Then I tried in command prompt and it worked. — Bhoomi Zalavadiya, Jan 28 '19 at 06:39

use cmd and try this code below. It Worked for me

1.First download and install openssl (from git if possible)
2.set environment variable for openssl and java and try this

keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" | "openssl" sha1 -binary | "openssl" base64

If it ask for password use android

Don't use the terminal inside the Visual Studio Code or Android Studio, use PowerShell or a standard Command Prompt.
