I did see that commit:

	commit 419a8dd814
	Author: Andrew Dunstan <andrew@dunslane.net>
	Date:   Wed Mar 15 16:37:28 2023 -0400
	
	    Add a hook for modifying the ldapbind password
	
	    The hook can be installed by a shared_preload library.
	
	    A similar mechanism could be used for radius paswords, for example, and
	    the type name auth_password_hook_typ has been shosen with that in mind.
	
	    John Naylor and Andrew Dunstan
	
	    Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/469b06ed-69de-ba59-c13a-91d2372e52a9@dunslane.net

However, there is no user documentation of this hook, so it didn't seem
like something to add to the release notes.
