PgAdmin4 requires you login to _it_, before you can use your
PostgreSQL credentials to connect to a database.

If you have gotten to the point where you can choose a DB server
you have logged into pgAdmin4.  You need (IIRC) to tell pgAdmin4
what your PG username is (if not also your PG password) -- the
PG username that goes with the DB server.  IIRC, you get to this
by way of clicking on your email address (your pgAdmin4 login name)
in the upper right hand corner.
