Hey Soda Springs and Eric De Wildt!

Getting your SHA1 key is a little more complicated on a Windows system so be sure to take a look at my guide for getting it on a Windows System.

As for your specific question, you can find the debug keystore using Windows Explorer: find where your .android directory is located (Usually under Users >> [YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]).

Hope it helps and if you have any further problems with this, give me a shout :)

It still doesn't work in Windows Command Prompt after running this.

cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\bin
keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore C:/Users/dev1/.androiddebug/keystore -list -v
