What is "crypt key missing" error in Pgadmin4 and how to resolve it?

Question

I am using pgadmin version 6.1. I am trying to connect to my postgres db hosted in docker with pgadmin on my local machine.

I used the below command to get the docker container ip address: docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' container_name_or_id

When starting Pgadmin4, did you set a "master" password or just bypass that prompt? I just ran into the same thing and restarted setting the "master" password and was able to continue without that error.

Had the same problem, but when resetting the "master" password the "Crypt key missing" error was gone! – Dec 01 '21 at 18:37

I think there is no issue for this on https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/issues ... I found two similar ones (can't login to redmine), but they're long closed. – stmax Jan 13 '23 at 09:25

Set Master password. This worked for pgadmin4-6.15 in windows

After installing the server, I just had to restart my machine to make it working.

I noticed this happening, when I skip entering the master password but try adding the new server. I restarted it and entered the master password and it worked.
