Hash password
The hash_password
tool is used to get the jBcrypt hash of a password. This hash
can be used in CREATE/ALTER ROLE/USER statements for improved security.
This feature can be useful if we want to make sure no intermediate system, logging or any other possible plain text password leak can happen.
