I did see that commit:

commit 419a8dd814
Author: Andrew Dunstan <andrew(at)dunslane(dot)net>
Date: Wed Mar 15 16:37:28 2023 -0400

Add a hook for modifying the ldapbind password

The hook can be installed by a shared_preload library.

A similar mechanism could be used for radius paswords, for example, and
the type name auth_password_hook_typ has been shosen with that in mind.

John Naylor and Andrew Dunstan

However, there is no user documentation of this hook, so it didn't seem
like something to add to the release notes.
