Thanks Holger,
Yes I know about this change.
But I am looking to work on 'Postgres Database User Authentication' . But it looks like postgres has some limitations related to user authentication and it's expiration.
So I am looking for a good approach in postgres , like in Oracle we have !
Thanks.

Hi Holger,
Is there any change related to password management in Postgres14 with respect to previous releases. I don't see anything new.
Thanks

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/sql-alterrole.html contains the sentence:
Ordinary roles can only change their own password.
Yes, there is. The default password hashing method has changed in postgresql.conf:
Version 13:
#password_encryption = md5 # md5 or scram-sha-256Version 14:
#password_encryption = scram-sha-256 # scram-sha-256 or md5
