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/

Many thanks, sorry for the confusion.
(maybe you guys could move to github, where opening Issues is a lot
easier?)
