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.
I was with the same problem.
Try to clean Project and then Rebuild Project!
It Solved my problem
