Ensure all accounts that can log in have passwords

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.

Run SELECT rolname FROM pg_authid WHERE rolpassword IS NULL AND rolcanlogin; Any returned account that is not known to authenticate with certificates (or peer/GSS) is a potential fail.

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Set a password for each listed account with \password <user> in psql (ALTER ROLE ... PASSWORD writes the password to logs), or switch it to certificate authentication.
