it can be annoying. I personally don't like that pgAdmin does it,
because I would like the "save password" feature to just save it for
pgAdmin. But that's me, and I've accepted that I'm in minority.

However, I don't think you can get away with calling it a security risk.
It can be an annoying thing for some people in some sitatuions, but it's
not a security risk.
