This list lacks the most obvious one: enable (and ideally enforce) SCRAM-xxxxx-PLUS as the authentication method of choice.

The idea of the PLUS variant is both simple and effective: instead of verifying <user,password> with the help of a salt you are verify <user,password,tls session key>.

That way the authenticating is only valid on a single TLS connection.

This is also called channel binding.
