| public @Nullable char[] getPassword(AuthenticationRequestType type) throws PSQLException Callback method to provide the password to use for authentication. Implementers can also check the authentication type to ensure that the authentication handshake is using a specific authentication method (e.g. SASL) or avoiding a specific one (e.g. cleartext). For security reasons, the driver will wipe the contents of the array returned by this method after it has been used for authentication. Implementers must provide a new array each time this method is invoked as the previous contents will have been wiped.
