How many scram iterations should be set for PostgreSQL to ensure CLI level password security?

I am working on trying to build some foundational knowledge on secure deployments of PostgreSQL. I’m currently on version 16. While only one measure of security protocol, my first step is to secure passwords for users using SCRAM 256.
