libpq15 with postgres server16 and scram-sha-256

Hello
is it possible to connect with PGConnectdb version 15 to a server that has in METHOD in pg_hba.conf   "scram-sha-256"
or do I need version libpq 16 ?

If so, being constrained to remain at 15 libpq for now, is md5 allowed?

Rds,

You can use "scram-sha-256" authentication from v10 on.

Note that it only works if the database password is a scram-sha-256 hash, not an MD5 hash.
