Dave, Ah, I guess the two of us have a different understanding of *desktop* mode. In your, and apparently pgAdmin4's case, it's a locally running web server with a couple of settings tweaked. In my, and perhaps many other people's, understanding *desktop* mode is a program that you install on you

Have you tried using more than one browser? Load pgAdmin and/or a small number of secured things you want to stay logged in for longer periods, while do your majority of activities or the ones you'd want to clear your browser for in others. I for example have Safari plus Firefox plus Chrome a

Avin, There's a lengthy explanation about the vulnerabilies around the Master Password, solution, if you can't find it on the list, please let me know. In a nutshell, a malware downloaded into a machine (or a malicious browser extension) could search for pgAdmin passwords and steal them. Many pe

Guys I think we should take a breather on both sides, all I did was ask for clarification on why it was implemented. While I appreciate it, there's no need to sympathise with me, I don't have any feelings regarding it. Only that me as personal user does not need it. The original somewhat confrontat

Dave, There is no attack of any kind in that post. I am sympathizing with Avin. While I agree that there are use cases where a *master password* feature makes sense, I disagree that it is the *majority* of cases, or even applicable to the *majority* of users. Therefore I believe that it is *impl

Avin, I agree, the master password *nonsense* was poorly implemented. I too wish the developers would rethink it. Until then there is a way to disable it by setting an option in a config file. I can provide more details if you would like (or you could look for other more expansive posts by myse

Every single day, even after getting rid of the "master password" nonsense (which was a nightmare in itself), pgAdmin keeps asking me, again and again, to enter the password when I try to connect to my servers. This is cleared every single time I clear my browser data, which is an absolute neces
