Answer 1

To have phpMyAdmin prompt you for a username and password when starting, you can edit the configuration file . Note that this behavior is already the default, so either you've manually changed it to not prompt you or you're using some pre-packaged kit that made the changes for you, in which case you should consult the documentation for that package.

Edit config.inc.php , which is in the phpMyAdmin root directory, find the line like $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; and change it to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
