phpMyAdmin automatically logins in without requesting my login details

Question

I have WAMP server installed for some time now and it has always asked me for my username and password whenever I load phpMyAdmin from the WAMP control panel. Recently, I changed the $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; in the config.inc.php to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'NO'; in the hope that it fixed a database connection problem I was having (it didn't btw) so I tried to change it back by removing the 'NO' but once I did that whenever I load up phpMyAdmin, it automatically logins me in bypassing the login page. How do I fix it where it starts asking me again for my login details?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Change/add this parameter in config.inc.php to use cookie, then phpMyAdmin will throw you a login dialog

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';

Then this line shoiuld not be set to 'NO' as this is the field that could contain the hardcoded password

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

Maybe you ment to change

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;
