    Anything different about this environment e.g. locale?

    What is the encoding/character set for the database?

    I'm assuming you have super user access so you could look at the
    password in:

    https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/view-pg-shadow.html

    on the old server and then on the new server.


It absolutely did change the password. Only 1 password out of 4 accounts, but it changed it. The MD5 is different so this is verified. But why, how?

To maybe answer that:

1) Can you find out what the clear text version of the password is? Not necessary to share here, just indicate anything special about it.

2) What is the encoding/character set for the database?

3) What is the OS and version?

4) Has the OS been recently updated/upgraded?
