hi,
i've recently been ramping up security on my server and i realised that phpmyadmin sends the username and password in plaintext accross the http connection from client to server when loging in. this seems like quite a security hole, so i just thought i'd see if there are any other options to use encryption on the username and password for the login page? i've had a bit of a look though the code but i couldnt see any options to 'turn on' a higher level of security so i'm guessing there currently isnt one. that being the case i'd be keen to implement a more secure login.

what are everyone's thoughts on this?

cheers
pete
