PhpMyAdmin configuration file now requires a phrase password workaround_MySQL

The new version of PhpMyAdmin has enhanced security and requires a phrase password to be set in the configuration file. Otherwise, after entering, there will be a red warning prompt saying "The configuration file now requires a phrase password.".

Solution:

1. Change

in phpMyAdmin/libraries/config.default.php

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; changed to $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '123456'; (Note: '123456' is an arbitrary character)

2. In the phpMyAdmin directory, open config.sample.inc.php, line 18

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; changed to $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '123456'; (Note: '123456' is an arbitrary character)

This password is used to encrypt cookies to avoid confusion when cookies are shared by multiple PhpMyAdmin or other programs.

Complete the above two steps, refresh the web page, OK, the prompt "The configuration file now requires a phrase password." no longer exists!

The above is the entire content of the solution to the PhpMyAdmin configuration file now requiring a phrase password. I hope it can give you a reference and hope you can support it.
