Recover passwords protected by Master Password in IntelliJ IDEA


I know my Master Password. How can I revocer particualr password eg. for android .apk signing? Now, when I want to sign .apk just enter Master Password and key stores passwords fields filled automatically. I forgot these passwords in plain text, can I read them from IntelliJ password database?

  • There is no official instructions how to do that, however you still can do it programatically.
