You can, and many, many companies do, but you need a modern auth system
like Kerberos. Even if we were to put something into Postgres today (and
given the MFA and re-use requirements, it's near impossible), PCI DSS keeps
evolving and getting stricter, so keeping up with it would get harder with
each release.

Can I do something to help bringing these feature into PG? My C knowledge

Your energy would be much better used in bringing Kerberos into your
organization. :)

Cheers,
Greg
