This is probably because pg_hba.conf settings. By default, it trusts
connections from localhost, which means that any connection being made
from localhost (which is the case when the web server and database are
running in the same machine) will be accepted regardless of user and password.


You should change these lines in pg_hba.conf

local   all         all                               trust
# IPv4-style local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust

and change 'trust' to your preferred auth method (password, md5, etc.)

Check out the docs for authentication methods at

Thanks Vinko that did the trick.
