title: Hide my database password
body: <p>I just discovered that in the file</p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc/dbconfig-common/phpmyadmin.conf
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My database admin password is written in clear-text with no encryption. </p>
  
  <p>How can I change that? I noticed online that many people are happy with this. Although I noticed that only root can see the content of this file (its permission is 600), I still would prefer not having clear passwords.</p>
  
  <p>What do you suggest?</p>
  
  <p>If you require any additional information, please ask.</p>
