Re: pgAdmin 4 v4.9 released

Hi pgAdmin team.

I've just upgraded to v4.9 (from 4.6) and noticed for the first time a
dialog requesting a master password. I've gone through the release notes
and couldn't find when this feature was implemented.
Anyway, the encryption seems to mess up all saved passwords. When I connect
to an pre existing server which had the password saved I get error: Failed
to decrypt the saved password. Error: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x89
in position 3: invalid start byte

After feeding the correct password it connects alright. Sadly it seems I
will have to reenter the password for all the servers I manage.
A small nuance is the Save Password checkbox on the Connect Server dialog
requiring a lot of clicks for it to turn checked. (running Windows 10 +
Chrome)

A more serious issue seems to happen when a connection with SSL tunneling
is lost, since I am unable to reconnect to the server as pgAdmin will throw
this error on every attempt to reconnect: create_ssh_tunnel() missing 1
required positional argument: 'tunnel_password'

Can't find a way around it other than restarting pgAdmin since the same
error appears upon trying to open the server properties. (Edit: I managed
to workaround this deadlock by clearing the server password)

Another nuance is that the ssh password can't be saved. This is not the
"click lots of times till it kicks in", the save password checkbox is
definitely disabled for the ssh password. Haven't found an option to enable
it either.

Am I the only one suffering from these issues?

Regards,
Fernando.
