Android Studio where is Master Password stored?

Question

When you generate a APK in Android Studio you can secure the generation with a Master Password. Where in the filesystem is this password stored? I\'m hoping I\'m not committing

Answer 1

In my linux system this is where the security.xml file is located::

~/.AndroidStudio2.2/config/options/security.xml

Master passwords are encrypted (AES) and saved in security.xml file. It's location could change based on system and the version of android studio that you are using. You can run the following command in command shell.

locate security.xml
