On my Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon Framework 13 Virtual Machine Manager Linux Mint (trust) virtual machine.

file ~/.android/adbkey

/home/benjamin/.android/adbkey: OpenSSH private key (no password)

The Server Fault answer 52287:

ssh-keygen -f ~/.android/adbkey -y > ~/.android/adbkey.pub

file ~/.android/adbkey.pub

/home/benjamin/.android/adbkey.pub: OpenSSH RSA public key

It is about 381 characters.

On my host:

file ~/.android/adbkey.pub

/home/benjamin_loison/.android/adbkey.pub: ASCII text, with very long lines (700)

it seems to be a base 64 encoded binary, according to base64 -d.

Removing ssh-rsa prefix to just keep base 64 does not result in the correct hash.

The Android Stack Exchange answer 260388 works fine when delete both adbkey{,.pub}, but not just the latter. When deleted both the phone prompts the new laptop identity.

DuckDuckGo and Google search Generate "adbkey.pub" from adbkey does not seem to help.
