sorry, i'll try to keep that in mind.

so in pve you can configure this. however, it will fail as soon as the
configuration is actually used [1] (e.g., for a sync). i'm already
working on a patch that also make the gui enforce setting a password in
such cases.

pmg from what i can tell allows unauthenticated binds just like pbs did
previously.
