If you're reading this article you've probably attempted to access the phpMyAdmin link in XAMPP only to receive the following "Forbidden Access" er...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
If you access phpMyAdmin through your local address,
127.0.0.1, instead of your external address, everything should work perfectly well without the adjustments you described - they can potentially pose a security risk that could be avoided.Of course, if you want to access phpMyAdmin from an external address, then your post is quite helpful.
Thank you so much😭
