How can I retrieve a saved keystore password from Android Studio?

Question

The new Android Studio allows us to save keystore passwords for later use. Where are these passwords stored on my computer (OSX), and is there a way to retrieve the saved v

Answer 1

You can find this in the idea.log files generated by Android Studio:

Search for "Pandroid.injected.signing.key.password" and you can see the key password.

Example logs:

2015-11-13 10:22:48,844 [ 709463] INFO - a.gradle.invoker.GradleInvoker - Build command line options: [--configure-on-demand, -Pandroid.injected.invoked.from.ide=true, -Pandroid.injected.signing.st ore.file=/Users/varun/Projects/myapp/mykey.jks, -Pandroid.injected.signing.store.password=mykeystorepassword, -Pandroid.injected.signing.key.alias=myalias, -Pandroid.injected.signing.key.password=mykeypassword , -Pandroid.injected.apk.location=/Users/varun/code/android/workspace/myapp, --init-script, /private/var/folders/vk/z504nlhd6v30p7zvtgjp5sjm0000gn/T/asLocalRepo0.gradle]

Note 1: On OSX the idea.log file can be found at ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio2.0

Note 2: If you don't find the password in idea.log, then also look at the files called idea.log.1, idea.log.2 and so on.
