There is no communication between pgAdmin and pg_dump. If pg_dump needs
to ask for a password, you'll surely have your pgAdmin completely blocked.

From pgAdmin, I suppose?

pgAdmin cannot give the password to pg_dump without using the
environment variable (PGPASSWORD)... but it means the password will
appear in the ps output. That won't happen. The only workaround
available is to use a .pgpass file. Which pgAdmin would have created if
you allowed it to store the password.
