What is really the default location of the password file

User_A7RKTAug 15 2022

Hi guys,
I've got an Oracle 19c on Linux 7.
According to the documentation, the new default location of the password file is $ORACLE_BASE/dbs.
However, after creating a database using dbca, I noticed the password file is created in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
I tried a test which is to create a dbs directory under $ORACLE_BASE and move the password file to it. In response, the database is unable to see the password file.
Could any one clarify please?
Thanks in advance.
