Subject: pgsql: doc: Remove notes about "unencrypted" passwords.
Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:49:39 +0000
Message-ID: <E1uMpQx-000ACH-22@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

doc: Remove notes about "unencrypted" passwords.

The documentation for the pg_authid system catalog and the
pg_shadow system view indicates that passwords might be stored in
cleartext, but that hasn't been possible for some time.

Oversight in commit eb61136dc7.
