That's because the structure of the docs changed. You need to hit "up",
which will take you to
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/client-authentication.html, which
now has the list of links. Note how the different methods used to be
20.3.x, and are now directly listed as 20.y.

I'm unsure if that was intentional in the upstream docs, but that's what
makes the website behave like it does.
