I'm trying to connect to 'wrds' database using the function 'WRDS.Connection()' from module 'wrds',I entered my username and password, but it recommends me to set up a .pgfile and raise error.
import wrds
conn = wrds.Connection()
Enter your WRDS username [veggiesong]:huhuhuhu
Enter your password:
WRDS recommends setting up a .pgpass file.
You can find more info here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/libpq-pgpass.html.
There was an error with your password.

I'm sure I entered the exact username and password that I used to login in on the web page. Can anyone help point out the error and help me solve that?

Make sure you have the newest version of wrds, if that doesn't solve this issue:
Try connecting by passing in your user as a parameter:
import psycopg2
conn = psycopg2.connect(dbname='wrds',
user='my_username',
host='wrds-pgdata.wharton.upenn.edu',
port=9737)
