immich Postgres Issue

I noticed I was getting a 502 error to my immich server domain. I checked the logs and saw this:

I then went to my Postgres container and checked the logs there to find this:
2025-01-22 22:35:33.190 PST [8075] FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "robert"

I haven't changed any passwords or anything about the user account for the database. Is there perhaps a recent update of immich or postgres that is causing this issue? I am running both in docker on Unraid 7.
