Emacs, sql-mode, Postgresql and inputing password

Question

I'm trying to connect to a PostgreSQL DB thru Emacs using the sql-mode. I start Emacs, command M-x sql-postgres and it prompts for User, Database and Server but not for the password. An empty buffer opens and whatever I write, I get:

the Password for user james:
psql: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "james"

I can login using psql, though. I'm running GNU Emacs 24.4.1 in Linux Antergos, PostgreSQL is 9.3.5.

Thanks..

Answer 1

In case someone else comes looking I solved this by calling send-invisible and typing in my password, after the sql-postgres command completed. Emacs version 24.5.1.

1. Initiate postgres connection
2. At blank screen M-x send-invisible
3. Type password.
4. Profit.
