Heroku wrong credentials for postgresql database

i’m using heroku for deploy a database (postgres) and connect to it.
I used it for 2 weeks but today it start rejecting my credential and i couldn’t login anymore, i checked if the credential are changed but nothing?
Can anyone help me? thanks a lot!
I had this issue, if you look in the Settings -> Config Vars you will see that the DATABASE_URL has changed. So you need to use the new value in Datagrip and things will work again.
They change the details periodically but it doesn't seem to update in the database settings page which is very annoying although it only happens on the free tier.

FATAL: password authentication failed for user postgres [SQL State=28P01]

So I'm using postgresql 13 and SQL Workbench on Windows 10 for the first time. I'm trying to connect the database to the server to no avail. I keep getting this error message: FATAL: password authentication failed for user postgres [SQL State=28P01]. From Stack Overflow and other documentation, I'm able to gather things about older versions of postgres or how to address this issue in Ubuntu and/or from the command line. But I have yet to find a remedy that fits my specific circumstance. Anyone have tips on how I can fix this or even better search terms that point towards a more precise solution? Let me know. Thanks!

Problems with postgres database in redmine after change in password

First, I'm a total newbie and I guess that's why this error occurred in the first place.
A colleague of mine stopped working and so I had to take over administrative stuff as the redmine we use and making backups.
So I wanted to schedule these backups automatically. Somewhere on the way I changed /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf for user postgres (that's the one for the redmine database.
from local all postgress peer to local all postgress trust so I could run a shell program in crontab. This worked but then redmine doesn't work anymore. I get this:
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres" FATAL:
password authentication failed for user "postgres" (PG::Error)
On this the error site for redmine. I changed everything back and restarted everything, but it did't work.
Then I used an older backup to restore but still.
So, now I have no idea whats wrong. Maybe someone can help me.
Thanks.

I think it is because I've changed the password of the postgres user in ubuntu. I did not know at the moment that they are connected. I always got a password promt but I didn't know it (my colleague at least didn't tell me one) I've tried to change it in the data base as well with
ALTER USER Postgres WITH PASSWORD 'newpassword';
Would it be enough to reinstall the database and use an old backup?

OpenERP on VPS, and redirection of Postgresql to Local Machine

Please, any help will be appreciated, i have an OpenERP installed with all its components (Postgres, Web server, Server) in a VPS..
And I would like to use this PostgreSQL from my local machine trough pgAdmin3. I am still not able to do so.
I read some answers about this issue, by modifing Configuration Files in Postgresql and some others telling me to use SSH Tunilling trough Putty, but when i go to connect trough PGADMIN3 i can't have a successfuull connection
So , Please if any one could Give me in details What i have to do, to make this happen successfully,
First you need to ask yourself a bunch of questions. The answer to this isn't really that simple which is why it hasn't been answered. These involve risk management questions that happen when you set up your db for access across the internet. You really want to start by reading the administration and authentication sections of the PostgreSQL docs. You may want to do an SSH tunnel or just require SSL.
Personally I would configure PostgreSQL to require SSL if you are going to do that. Set up an entry of type hostssl in the pg_hba.conf for the host that will be connecting to it. Set up firewall rules to allow connections from that host. Ideally set up a client cert but not quite sure how to make OpenERP use that.
Then configure OpenERP. I don't know which version you are running but these docs may get you started.

Cloudfoundry relation "user" does not exist

I'm currently trying to deploy my application in cloudfoundry. My web is built on spring+postgre+hibernate. The problem I'm having is whenever I try to access the database, I'm having an error relation "user" does not exist.
I am sure that it is properly connecting to a postgres database. But my problem is that , it seems like it is not connecting to my local database but instead to somewhere else that's why it can't access the user table I defined.
I've tried to execute some query like "select * from pg_tables", and it executes well but the result is not the same with my local database. I've also seen that the table owner is vcap. I wonder why I'm having this error and how I could solve it.
I've been trying to fix these a couple of days. But to no avail that's why I've already posted here.
I hope someone could help me here.
I'll appreciate it a lot!
As a follow-on to ebottard's comment suggestion that addresses provisioning a service,
a way to prepopulate the database is to use a tunnel which connects your postgres client to the cloudfoundry postgres database, as described in Tunneling to a Cloudfoundry Service.
