* saved passwords lost when connection fails

PgAdmin doesn't retain the saved passwords when a connection to a server
fails.
I'd like to request that the saved passwords be kept, even in the event of
a failure.
I realize that if the failure is due to an incorrect password, there needs
to be a way to enter a new one, but if the password is correct and the
server is not running, the password should not be removed.

My mistake. It turns out it does keep the password. It was prompting me for
the password after the connect failed so I assumed it had forgotten it. But
when I quit PgAdmin and restarrted, it used the saved password. So PgAdmin
is handling this fine,

That request should be directed to PgAdmin (http://www.pgadmin.org/) - a
project related-to but separate-from PostgreSQL. It is likely that a
request like this will raise a host of security problems.

It has already been on pgadmin-support. I'll answer it shortly.
