Description

We got locked DB-Accounts because version 1.4.2 seemed to send empty passwords without to prompt for passwords towards the DBs. Is this probably solved in #69 in Version 1.5?

Thank you

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #69 and the change from version 1.4.2 to 1.5, focusing on when PostgreSQL connections prompt for passwords. Reproduce the reported case if possible and determine whether an empty password is still sent without a prompt. Done means establishing whether #69 resolved this report or documenting the remaining failure case.
