Khushboo (CC'd) is most familiar with this code as she wrote the plugin
auth system - hopefully she can help point you in the right direction.

However; we have discussed OAuth briefly in the past and never quite
figured out what to do about saving Postgres passwords. Have you thought
about that? The issue is that we won't have anything secret to use in an
encryption key as pgAdmin won't see the user's password. We have the same
issue with Kerberos, however the solution we came up with there was to
simply disable password saving which is fine because in most environments
the user will use Kerberos to authenticate to Postgres anyway (which
Khushboo is working on right now).
