Is your servers.json file outdated? According to the latest format, it
should appear as follows:

{
"Servers": {
"1": {
"Name": "dev-product",
"Group": "Servers",
"Host": "xxx",
"Port": 5432,
"MaintenanceDB": "postgres",
"Username": "yyy",
"Shared": true,
"SharedUsername": "yyy",
"ConnectionParameters": {
"sslmode": "disable",
"connect_timeout": 10,
"passfile": "../../pgpass"
}
}
}
}

Another potential issue could be that pgAdmin is unable to locate the
pgpass file at the specified path.
