There is no such functionality available. The way to do is to put a
pgpass.conf file in the users directory that specifies a password to
use. See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/libpq-pgpass.html.

(Or you can enable trust authentication, but that will let anybody
connect as whatever user they chose, without a password and without any
verification whatsoever)
