Bug reference: 17711 Logged by: Julia Migay Email address: juliamigay@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 15.1 Operating system: MAC Description:
Hello! I installed the postgress package on my Mac M1 When logging in to pgADMIN 4, when asked for a password again (2 times), I get the same error each time, although the password is correct "connection to server at "localhost" (127.0.0.1) port 5432 failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres""
How did you install it? What error gets reported in the database server's log file?
PgAdmin shouldn't ask you for the same password twice just to log on to the database (unless you made two different attempts to log on). It might ask for a master password it uses for its internal password vault, and then ask for the database password because it is not already in the vault. Or in server mode it might ask for a password to log onto the web interface itself. Read the prompts carefully to see what it is actually asking for.
