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😭
Thanks a lot. This worked perfectly as described
You are a legend, thank you for your help :)

PS: I'm just realising that this post bailed me out some months back and I had left a comment of appreciation then even though I forgot about it
Thank you very much, Josephine. You just saved my day :)
Thank you... i been installing xampp for windows easily for a decade but with MAC.... my head aches since i got my MAC🥺
I just got a mac and followed this, it unfortunately didn't work for me, still getting access forbidden.
Worked for me 100% 😉
