Hi Neil, pgAdmin uses a Keychain to store the pgAdmin server passwords if users opt for save password functionality. Keychain access is Python process-specific. Hence allowing keychain access to the python process requested by pgAdmin will be specific to this python pid. We are trying to add a pgAdmin name in the waring where it asks to allow keychain access.
