+        It is generally good idea to protect public phpMyAdmin installation
+        against access by robots as they usually can not do anything good

+        your webserver or limit access by web server configuration. You can
+        find example <code>.htaccess</code> file which can help you achieve
+        this in <code>contrib</code> directory in phpMyAdmin.
