 It is currently necessary to setup postgresql databases to have password
 access in order to access them via QGIS. It makes much more sense to
 ignore the password field if the user does not provide one. There is
 nothing in libpq that requires you to provide a password. If you drop that
 field from the conninfo string, you will be able to connect without a
 password (as long as the database is setup in trust mode).
