The next paragraph in the docs is:
If you are at all concerned about password <quote>sniffing</> attacks then <literal>md5</> is preferred, with
<literal>crypt</>a second choice if you must support pre-7.2 clients. Plain <literal>password</> should especially be
avoidedfor connections over the open Internet (unless you use <acronym>SSL</acronym>, SSH, or other communications
