Default password for my user in postgresql

As per tadman’s comment, Homebrew postgres currently creates an account with the same name as the installing user, but no password. E.g. after my initial install (username david):

$ psql postgres
psql (12.2)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# \du
                                   List of roles
 Role name |                         Attributes                         | Member of 
-----------+------------------------------------------------------------+-----------
 david     | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication, Bypass RLS | {}
