I personally don't like that pgAdmin does it, because I would like the "save password" feature to just save it for pgAdmin. But that's me, and I've accepted that I'm in minority. However, I don't think you can get away with calling it a security risk. It can be an annoying thing for some people in some sitatuions, but it's not a security risk. //Magnus
