I did see that commit:

    commit 419a8dd814
    Author: Andrew Dunstan <andrew@dunslane.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.

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