    Please move the keystore-related stuff from the Player Settings to the Build Settings.
    Every time you relaunch Unity, you have to enter the keystore passwords before making an Android build. Why have the fields buried?

    Inevitably, I forget to type them in before the first build attempt. If the section was right there in the build settings, it would be easy to remember to type them in before building the first time, and we wouldn't have to dig into the player settings to do it.

    To me, the Player Settings are things that are essentially "set and forget". Having to enter data into the Player Settings section every time you make the first build after re-loading the project doesn't fit this idea.

    I've attached a mockup of this idea...

    I also posted this in the general editor support forum, but I can't figure out how to delete this post.
