Adrian, David,
Thank you so much for the quick response.
What would be the point of storing the encrypted password instead of the
plaintext one?
As per our organization security policies, we can 't keep any passwords
in plain text format.
But if you want to log in with encrypted password and someone can grab
it from the file not sure what the difference is from grabbing the plain
text one if they both end up logging the user in?
I am working on postgres + pgbouncer setup, tested pgbouncer 1.14 where
we have support to use encrypted password in userlist,txt file. I am
surprised why pgpass is not supporting encrypted passwords.

scram-sha-256 encrypted passwords are supported in .pgpass file

I am using below format and it is not working for me
/|pglnx1|/:/|5432|/:pgbouncer:/|pgadmin|/:"SCRAM-SHA-256$4096:6IDsjfedwsdpymp0Za7jaMew==$rzSoYL4ZYsW1WJAj7Lt3JtNLNR73AVY7sfsauikweblk][=:Hxx/juPXJZHy5djPctI=*/"/*
The documentation doesn't say so one way or the other so I would go
with no. The password in the pgpass file has to be the plaintext
password. The client, upon speaking with the server, will decide
whether to send the plaintext password to the server or encrypt it
prior to transmission.
What would be the point of storing the encrypted password instead of
the plaintext one?
