No, there is no technical problem. Both default to different ports they listen on.

conf is PostgreSQL's main configuration file and the primary source of configuration parameter settings. postgresql. conf is a plain text file generated by initdb and is normally stored in the data directory. However some distributions' packages may place postgresql.
Use the password file with lines like:
hostname:port:database:username:password
If you always log into the same host:db:port:user then this will make it:
*:*:*:*:mypassword
