I understand that the -keypass option is for "the password for the key" and that the -storepass option is for "a password for the keystore".
I don't understand, however, why two passwords are needed.
What scenarios are there for requiring 2 passwords: One for the store (file, in my case) and one for the key.

Keystore is a binary file that contains a set of private keys. Private key represents the entity to be identified with the app, such as a person or a company. So Keystore password is used to open a keystore and simple password is password of private entity stored in keystore file..!!
You can set a password to protect keystores and private keys that are stored on the Management and Security Server. The password set here protects the keystores in the MSSData/trustedcerts folder, which includes: the Management and Security Server certificate and private key. the client certificate and private key.
Keystore is used to store private key and identity certificates that a specific program should present to both parties (server or client) for verification. Truststore is used to store certificates from Certified Authorities (CA) that verify the certificate presented by the server in SSL connection.
The default server password is changeit . The keytool application is included in the Java developer kit and is not part of IBM® UrbanCode Deploy. The default server alias is server .
This is due to how Java handles keystores so it's not an Android specific issue. The reason though is because access to a store such as adding/viewing trust relationships is a separate task from creating and signing keys/certs.
In short, you may trust someone to view/update your keystore but not sign things with a key you store in the keystore. Plus, keys could be stored in multiple keystores and you want your keys locked down individually.
