So I screwed up my distro, and it doesn't really have a repair function, so I want to reinstall. Problem is, a lot of my passwords are calculated using this; that normally wouldn't be a problem, if I wasn't so forgetful and remembered my aliases I set for my passwords.

So where are the password aliases stored, or are they even stored in a file?

Settings are stored in dconf at the path /org/gnome/shell/extensions/pwcalc.

So if you are still able to get a console, entering the following command will show you all your recent aliases:
dconf read /org/gnome/shell/extensions/pwcalc/recenturls

If not copy the file ~/.config/dconf/user to a new system and/or run
cat ~/.config/dconf/user | grep --text -o "recenturls.*"

Most recent version added script list-extension-data to list all of this extension's stored data.
Full path should be ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pwcalc@thilomaurer.de/list-extension-data
