You cannot do that unless you want to modify PostgreSQL.
For requirements like this, the recommendation is *not* to use passwords
in the database for authentication. Use one of the other authentication
methods that uses an external authority.
Identity management systems specialize in that kind of thing, and you may
be able to get that information from there.
