Does changing the Keystore value change the key password?

I've changed my Keystore password. I also want to change a key password for an alias in the keystore. But I get this error when using -keypasswd

-keypasswd commands not supported if -storetype is PKCS12

By changing the keystore password have I also changed the key password? There is only one key in the keystore

No. Changing the keystore password doesn't change the key password automatically. You have to issue the respective change keystore password (-storepasswd) and change key password (-keypasswd) separately.

The internet standard for the PKCS12 keystore format is it has only 1 entry, and the keystore password is the same as the key password.

The way I've seen keytool work is, it doesn't need the storetype attribute when you change the keystore or key password. But when you supply the storetype attribute as PKCS12 it actually complains if you supply the keypass attribute, saying that it will not honor it.

So to answer your question to change the key password, don't supply the storetype attribute. Your command should look like:

keytool -keypasswd -keystore [p12Keystore] -storepass [oldPassword] -new [newPassword] -alias [entry]
