Yes. psqlODBC supports “md5” encrypted logins, but not “crypt” logins. Keep in mind that after login, ODBC sends all queries in plain text, so all you’re protecting is your password. Also, support for md5 logins was added in late 2001, so if you have an older version of psqlODBC you may need to update it. Note: As of version 08.01.002, psqlODBC now supports SSL encrypted connections.
