Would it be possible to prevent the system from forgetting the stored
password when pgAdmin fails to connect in a future release or have an
option that would prevent forgetting of passwords?

I use pgAdmin 1.16 or 1.18 to connect to our database and use the store
password option. If postgres is not running or the network is not working
for any reason, pgAdmin displays an error that it cannot connect to the
database and immediately forgets the stored password. This is extremely
inconvenient when using a long pass-phrase as it requires me to lookup the
password and re-enter it when I can again connect to the server.
