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 values?
EDIT I am looking for the Alias password, not the Keystore password

bin file in android studio itself. Search for ". storePassword" .. That's it you got your keystore password.
From the logs: If you have your logs intact, then you can find the password in the Android Studio log files: Go to ~/Library/Logs -> AndroidStudio ->idea. log.
Resolution. The only way to recover is then to create a duplicate keystore with a new store password. All of the certs from the original trustore can be copied as-is into the new keystore. We will use /opt/CA/jre/lib/security/cacerts as the example but this will work with any Java Keystore (jks).
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.
