So it's an infinite loop issue and not a security issue? I would rather
have a separate option somewhere to connect without saved password.
Our product "embeds" PG so all the non-tech employees (like the sales guys)
have it running on their computers. They call me for help and I connect to
them and fail and tell them to turn off their firewall or whatever (again)
and then I have to lookup their password. My usage may not be common
enough for a generic tool to deal with, but it certainly is annoying.
