Hi, If it is regarding master password, then as per the docs - https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/latest/master_password.html - *"The master password is not stored anywhere on the physical storage. It is temporarily stored in the application memory and it does not get saved when the application is restarted."*
