  2. Remove support for password_encryption='off' / 'plain'.

  1. fix notes about password encryption in pg_authid docs

    Nathan Bossart <nathandbossart@gmail.com> — 2025-06-02T14:16:10Z

    I noticed that the docs for the pg_authid catalog still indicate that
passwords might be stored "unencrypted," which hasn't been possible since
commit eb61136.  The attached patch attempts to fix that.  If acceptable,
I'd back-patch it to all supported versions.

Good point.

You are missing one reference in doc/src/sgml/system-views.sgml for
pg_shadow.passwd, no?
