Crypt/MD5 authentication does output the password encrypted:
DEBUG: received password packet with len=40, pw=md515e315f11670d4ba385d0c1615476780
DEBUG: received password packet with len=40, pw=md515e315f11670d4ba385d0c1615476780
psql: FATAL: Password authentication failed for user "postgres"
However, I still don't think we should be echoing this to the server
logs or the client. There is just little value to it and potential
problems, especially with 'password' authentication.
