| | 162 | However if you are a curious person, check the following: locate in this config file the line: |
| | 163 | {{{ |
| | 164 | $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)? - default is Cookie. |
| | 165 | }}} |
| | 166 | It will be right at the beginning in the section labeled: "/* Authentication type */" |
| | 167 | |
| | 168 | Instead of the default value 'cookie', you might consider changing it to 'config' or 'http'. |

| 179 | | {{{ |
| 180 | | $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user |
| 181 | | $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password (only needed with auth_type = 'config') |
