Re: pgAdmin4-9.5 password textbox missing in connection settings

Hi Richard/Dave,

If the server is already registered, the *Password* textbox will not be
visible—this has been the intended behavior for many years, if I recall
correctly. When you attempt to connect, the system will prompt you for the
password if it hasn’t been saved previously.
