Hi Richard/Dave,

If the server is already registered, the Password textbox will not be visible—this has been the intended behavior for many years, if I recall correctly. When you attempt to connect, the system will prompt you for the password if it hasn’t been saved previously.

I've recently upgraded to pgAdmin4-9.5 from pgAdmin4-9.1 on Windows 10.
Apparently the Password textbox in the Connection tab has been removed.

Why has this change been made?
How do I get it back?

Both good questions - I see the same issue on macOS.
