There is not Passwords are not stored in the ( sometimes shared, world readable ) service configuration file ( pg_sevice), but it the UNREADABLE FOR OTHERS password file. They need to be stored in a way which libpq and friends can use, so even if they were encrypted they could be extracted easily byjust debugging and setting a breakpoint in it. If you are looking at something like a password store with a master password at least in unix a user account with a .pgpass file works as it. You store every password in file readable by a user, .pgpass, and you use that user login credentials to get access to it.
