How can HTTP authentication be implemented in PHPMyAdmin for enhanced security measures?

To implement HTTP authentication in PHPMyAdmin for enhanced security measures, you can use Apache's built-in authentication modules. By setting up HTTP authentication, users will be required to enter a username and password before accessing PHPMyAdmin, adding an extra layer of security to your database management tool.

// Add this code to your .htaccess file in the PHPMyAdmin directory
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Access"
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
