Hi,
There could be many reasons , sharing most common ones:
- Typo errors ie case sensitive
- Password change errors
- Incorrect username ,database name , port number
- Configuration issues in hba file
- Privilege issue
- Server Not Restarted/Reloaded or full restart has not taken place for the server
Sharing the psql command for ready reference
psql -h <your_server_ip_or_hostname> -p <your_port> -U <your_username> -d <your_database_name>

Was that the complete message?
Not something like:
psql: error: connection to server at "localhost" (127.0.0.1), port 5482
failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "aklaver"
Also provide:
1) Postgres version.
2) Client version.

Hi Team,
Hope this email finds you well,
Apologies as I am unaware if this is the correct mailing address.
I would however like to inquire about an issue currently being experienced with Postgres with one of our external clients.
When doing the setup and following the steps accordingly with regards to adding the details for PostgreSQL Unicode ODBC Driver and testing, I run into an error where it states the below.
*note - I was provided with the username and password .
"psql: FATAL: password authentication failed"
Please advise if assistance can be provided?
Kind Regards
