"Revoke USB debugging authorization" is not listed under Developer Options

Question

"Revoke USB debugging authorization" is not listed under Developer Options. I'm trying to remove the RSA fingerprints of my PC.

But I can see it while searching for it at the top of Developer Options. Prompt to remove the RSA fingerprints is not displayed if I select under search list.

I'm using Google Plus lollipop Custom ROM on a HTC device. Please suggest a solution.

I can see a "revoke all rights" button on my phone, can you not on your device? — Richard Tingle, Jul 11 '15 at 21:02
Have you ever figured it out? Just noticed same thing with AICP ROM on Motorola G 2015. — Gene Pavlovsky, Oct 11 '16 at 20:55

In my case, I traced the lack of “Revoke USB debugging authorization” to a custom kernel I had applied (called BeastMode). Applying a different kernel resulted in “Revoke USB debugging authorization” being present and ADB operations getting authorized properly.

As @Gili mentioned, a device with a custom kernel will not show the "Revoke USB..." option.

As @Alex P. mentioned, the keys can be manually cleared by deleting the folder.

However, different kernels will store those files in different locations. Possible locations are:

/data/.android/adbkey.pub
/data/adb/adb_keys
/data/misc/adb/adb_keys

On the device, user-installed keys are stored in /data/misc/adb/adb_keys.

Just delete the file to remove all keys.

But, on my device, there are no files under that folder. – SathishPurushothaman Jul 12 '15 at 08:00

Here's a method I found to manually copy your machine's `adbkey.pub` to `/data/misc/adb/adb_keys`: [stackoverflow.com/a/58585698](https://stackoverflow.com/a/58585698/1454514) – David Refoua Oct 28 '19 at 04:14
