Unable to generate new signed apk Password verification failed

Question

I have generated an app bundle and published it in the play store successfully. Now I am trying to generate a signed apk(to test in device) and I am getting Password verification failed. I googled and tried every solutions found in stackoverflow, but nothing solved my problem. Then I tried generating a new keystore with new alias and passwords. Again I am getting same error for the new keystore also. I am using Android Studio 3.3, gradle 3.3.1.

It Solved my problem

Answer 2

I ran into the same problem on upgrade to android studio 4.2.

The following steps solved the problem:

1. Update gradle plugin to the latest
2. Build -> Clean project
3. File -> Invalidate caches / restart
4. Build -> generate signed bundle / apk...
5. Delete the existing pre-typed passwords, and type them again.
