Current version compatible with PHP 7.1 and newer and MySQL 5.5 and newer. How it all started: I was logged in to phpMyAdmin on my Macbook (which runs Mac OS X v10.7.4). I saw the message advising me to change the password of root, which by default has no password. I went to the Manage Privileges tab and changed the password for root on localhosts, webdev and 127.0.0.1.
By default, XAMPP has no passwords set and it is not recommended to run XAMPP with this configuration as it is accessible to others.
Simply type the following command (as root) to start a simple security check:
![Phpmyadmin Phpmyadmin](/uploads/1/1/9/5/119509470/136100234.png)
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp security
