java - How to recover password for jks file which is already available in play store?

Question

I have already uploaded an app in play store.

I am using android studio 3 for building my application.

Android - Forgot keystore password. Can I decrypt keystore file? @varun answer i tried all the three scenarios

But not able to get the solution if any other way to recover the password please let me know

Point to discuss

1.When i searched for Pandroid.injected.signing.key.password this key in idea.log.1 i get as encrypted password. Pandroid.injected.signing.key.password=*********,

2.my key alias is not encrypted.

3.based on what i get encrypted password beacuse for my previous project i am not seeing encrypted password my password is visible clearly.

4.Is there anything to do with choosing signature v1 and v2 while creating jks file. if so what is the solution?

Answer 1

If you have source code of your apk then you can easily get alias and password. follow these steps to recover your keystore original password without bruteforce. Make sure you don't try to crate a new keystore with that source code otherwise it will store your new password and alias. try this with your original keystore source code

Select your list of view as project and open directory and select .gradle > taskHistory like this

Now just open taskHistory.bin file and search in file storePassword or try to find keyAlias?TestApp?signingConfig.storePassword

and for alias just search keyAlias and you will get it

you will find your password here like:

test@123 is my password you can find yours , you can find it in next lines maybe it's not found in first line. so try to found at the bottom of page

Hope it's help for you, let me know if it's works for you.
