Is my password sent unencrypted when using Phpmyadmin through http?If not, is there any downside using http compared to https?
Phpmyadmin http password security
security;https;http;phpmyadmin
If you are connecting to phpMyAdmin through HTTP then your password (and all your data) is being sent unencrypted.However, if the form you are using to enter your username/password is sent to an HTTPS script (even though you might be on an unencrypted HTTP page) then it is sent encrypted, but then you would expect to remain on HTTPS for the duration of your session.
