Обсуждение: pgAdmin Saved Password Security
Hi,
I am new to pgAdmin and PostgreSQL. I am configuring a new server connection and I can see there's an option to save my server's password.
How secure is this option? Does it save my password as plaintext or does it save inside Windows protection or other form of encryption?
Best wishes,
Michel.

This is the "pgsql-admin" mailing list, which despite the name's similarity to "pgadmin" is intended for general questions related to administration of PostgreSQL itself. You'll have a better chance of a response on the pgadmin mailing list; see: https://www.pgadmin.org/support/list/ Regards Ian Barwick -- Ian Barwick https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
Many thanks, sorry for the confusion.
(maybe you guys could move to github, where opening Issues is a lot easier?)
