Operating system:   Windows 7
Description:

I stumbled above the following issue:
When storing a password (which happens in pgpass.conf) one can use pgAdmin,
but not psql or pg_dump.

It will always say: wrong password.
By removing the saved password everything works as expected.
Guess: Passwords including a colon and/or a comma will be interpreted
wrong.

That is a correct guess, but the problem is with pgAdmin.  See this
