Hi Andreas,
thanks for the feedback. The situation is:
* a qgs project pointing to PostgreSQL, without username and password
* if one inserts the credentials at project startup, these seem to be
remembered upon further opening of the project (unsure about other
projects), even after restarting QGIS.
It seems therefore impossible that QGIS takes it from .pgpass.
All the best.
