How secure is the hard coded admin login?

I’m planning on making my project live on the web. How secure is the hard coded admin login? Or is it recommended that I create a new user security level as admin and have the database act as security?

Thank you.

If you use hard coded admin only, you better use HTTPS for your site and enable Tools → Advanced Settings → “Encrypt user names and passwords”.

i’m wondering too “how si stored” the passsword of the hard coded login ?

in the pmp prject file, is it in clear ? or encrypted ?
in the php generated, is it clear or encrypted?

It is in plain text (not encrypted).

It depends whether you enable “Encrypt user names and passwords” option and define “Encryption key for data protection” from “Tools” → “Advanced Settings” or not. If you enable and setup that setting, then it will encrypted in the generated php files.
