WalkthroughThe connection flow now normalizes saved-password flags and seeds password dialogs from server settings. Query Tool connections validate prompted passwords before caching and persisting encrypted credentials to owned or shared server records. Corrected passwords are also saved in the manager session. ChangesSaved password flow
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Saved-password handling now validates and persists replacement credentials, but some valid shared-server imports can retain an empty username, preventing connection without re-entering details. The explicit save-password opt-out path also needs end-to-end coverage before relying on it for regression protection. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

I traced this one carefully because it touches stored credentials. Good news first: there's no cross-user leak. That said, I don't think this is mergeable yet. 1. The main fix doesn't actually fix the described bug (
That correction differs from what's already in the session only when The fix belongs one level down, in the driver: make 2. A wrong password now gets saved permanently ( 3. Unchecking "Save Password" no longer works ( 4. No tests. Smaller items:

- Move the manager.update_session() call for a corrected password into the driver's connect() (right after manager._update_password()) so every connect path benefits, not just ServerNode.connect. Drops the redundant/ineffective call that was added there. - Query Tool's reconnect path never uses the freshly typed password to open a real connection, so validate it against the server (via a throwaway connection) before persisting it -- a typo at the prompt must not silently overwrite a working saved password. - Seed the "Save Password" checkbox from the server's current setting and always send its state, so the backend can tell "explicitly unchecked" apart from "field not sent" and stops overriding an explicit uncheck. - Roll back the session on a failed password-persist commit, reuse _is_non_owner() instead of a duplicate inline check, and consolidate boolean-ish request field parsing into pgadmin.utils.str_to_bool. - Add unit tests for the owner/shared routing, rollback-on-failure, and password validation/boolean-parsing helpers.

For a server configured to save its password, entering a rotated password at the reconnect/password-prompt dialog appeared to work for the current connection but never actually replaced the stale saved ciphertext, causing an infinite re-prompt loop on every subsequent connection (e.g. opening the Query Tool). Two gaps caused this: 1. Query Tool's "already connected" reconnect path (sqleditor.connect_server) cached the freshly entered password on the in-memory server manager only, never writing it back to the stored server record. 2. The main "Connect to Server" flow (ServerNode.connect()) only persisted a freshly entered password to the server's stored ciphertext when the current request's save_password flag was true. But the password-prompt dialog shown on a failed connect doesn't resend the server's existing save_password setting -- it only reports its own checkbox state, which defaults to unchecked -- so a server already configured to save its password never got its stale ciphertext replaced. Separately, the driver's in-memory manager.password fix was never persisted via manager.update_session(); Driver.managers is an in-process cache, so in a multi-worker deployment (e.g. OpenShift/Helm) the next request can land on a different worker, which restores the stale pre-fix manager from the session and loses the corrected password. Fix all three: persist the new password to the (owned or shared) server record from the Query Tool reconnect path when save_password is set and allowed; treat save_password as true in the main connect flow whenever the server already has it enabled, not just when the current request's flag says so; and call manager.update_session() after a successful connect that used a freshly entered password. Fixes pgadmin-org#10128

- Include save_password in the Query Tool's own 428 password-prompt payloads (initialize_viewdata, _init_sqleditor) so the dialog seeds its checkbox correctly there too, not just from ServerNode.connect. - Clear a server's stored save_password/password when the user explicitly submits save_password=false for a server that had one saved, instead of only ever handling the "save" case. A new save_password_provided flag keeps legacy callers that omit the field from having a saved credential wiped out. - Validate the reconnect-path password before caching it on the manager/session at all, not just before persisting it to the DB -- a typo must not replace a working in-memory/session password either. - Fix pycodestyle E123 in the new test file by switching stacked `with` clauses to nested `with` blocks.

- Clear the saved password on the Query Tool reconnect path (_cache_manager_password_from_request) when save_password is explicitly false, mirroring the opt-out handling already present in ServerNode.connect. - Keep the shared-server connect response's is_password_saved flag in sync with the SharedServer row for non-owners, instead of reading the stale detached overlay. - Fix TestPasswordIsValid: _password_is_valid logs via current_app, so the test needs an application context to avoid a RuntimeError.
