"the access method for the local connection type must be switched from the default value peer (which would try to authenticate using the operating system user name of the client process) to md5."

I wonder if they tried scram-sha-256. MD5 seems like a bad idea these days.

Author here; mode of authentication didn't matter that much for that local exploration, so I haven't tried SCRAM-SHA-256. Great point though, it'd definitely be preferable in production.
