SSH connections are slightly different to the encrypted passwords - they encrypt the entire session over the wire, whilst the passwords are encrypted over the wire *and* in pg_shadow. pgAdmin with SSH is outlined here: http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=11
For the best security, why not use both?

Ivan,
I tunnel my pgAdmin connection through an SSH connection to provide security for pgAdmin logins. You can use the standard SSH port forwarding feature to have your pgAdmin connect to PostgreSQL. I believe there is now documentation on how to use SSH port forwarding with pgAdmin.
I hope this helps.
Peter
