$ keychain --list-fp

try on your machine

The command "keychain --list-fp" is used to list the fingerprints of all the SSH keys managed by the Keychain program.

Keychain is a utility used for managing SSH keys, which are used for secure connections to remote servers. The "--list-fp" option instructs Keychain to list the fingerprints of all the SSH keys it has stored.

A fingerprint is a unique identifier generated from an SSH key, which can be used to verify the integrity of the key. It is a short sequence of characters that represents the entire key. By listing the fingerprints of the SSH keys, you can easily compare them with the fingerprints stored on your remote servers to ensure you are using the correct key for authentication.

Overall, the "keychain --list-fp" command helps you quickly view the fingerprints of all the SSH keys managed by the Keychain program.
