I have been using Postgres 12 with MD5 as authentication method and have not faced any issues when trying to connect to a database with password. Nor have I faced issues with user authentication when supplying user password.
However, since I have installed Postgres 13 , I have been blocked by this error client password must be a string. This is a fresh installation of Postgres. Please note that there are solutions which talk about how to migrate from MD5 authentication to scram-sha-256 by making changes to postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf files. But none of them speak about this issue for a fresh installation of Postgres 13.
What should I be looking for to get rid of this error?
