If you’re wanting PG to store your password encrypted, then you should issue

ALTER USER postgres WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD ‘new-password’;

Afterwards, if you want to be able to log in through through the command line without being prompted for a password, then in the .pgpass file you must put the plain-text of the password, not the md5 hash.
