Server can access both encrypted data and its password, but we can put
them in different disk drives. We cannot decrypt the data unless we have
all copies of the drives.
If postgres server is started manually, there might be another design
that DBA sets password as a postmaster's startup parameter. If do so,
the password is only in memory but not in disk drives.
