How to reuse an android key to release application

Question

I created a key for my application on my laptop and released my application. Now I just copied that key into a flash and now I want to reuse it again, But I get this error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageRelease'.
> com.android.ide.common.signing.KeytoolException: Failed to read key key0 from store "E:\Rasad\Key\RasadKey.jks": Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect

I just test this path again with a new key and it happened again!

What is the problem?

Thankyou for your answers.

Did you try to read "key alias" without entering the "Key store password"? — Vijai, Jan 10 '18 at 07:42

Copy the ".jks" file and enter the same password you have used before. When generating signed apk, choose existing instead of new. Hope it helps

It's very likely that you have provided either the wrong key store password, or the wrong key password. There's an easy way to check with keytool:

Check android keystore keypass for correctness
