Note: The accounts feature is being deprecated from the codebase. Accounts are groupings of addresses, constructed by the wallet software.
You may find that the listunspent or listreceivedbyaddress commands are more useful for you.
I wanted to know what is the
""and0.81234545and where my real addresses
"" is the default name of an account
0.81234545 is the balance of your wallet, in BTC.

I generated more than 20 accounts. Waht do you mean saying default name of an account ? Commented Sep 30, 2018 at 20:04

Note that an account is not an address. An account is a group of addresses made by your wallet. For convenience, you can name the accounts you create. If you do not specify an account name, the default name is an empty string,

So but when I want to get balance of account , I am getting 0.0000 but bitcoin explorer site shows that balance of account is 0.12345667. Why ? ) Commented Oct 1, 2018 at 7:40

In
bitcoind, an account is different than an address. A bitcoin explorer site would not show you an account, it would show you an address. To show you one of your 'accounts', the explorer site would need to know which group of addresses to include, but only your wallet will know that info. Trying to compare the output ofbitcoin-cli listaccountswith a block explorer site will not work in almost every case.– chytrikCommented Oct 1, 2018 at 8:42
