Question
How to enable direct access to phpMyAdmin that is shipped in Plesk in order to skip login to Plesk page in https://<Plesk-server-host-name-or-IP>:8443 > Tools & Settings > Database Servers > Access This Server via DB Webadmin?
Answer
It is possible to enable direct access to Plesk server phpMyAdmin page over https://<Plesk-server-host-name-or-IP>:8443/phpmyadmin link.
The database user login and password are still required to enter this page.
- Login to Plesk
-
Install the Panel.ini Editor extension in Plesk: Extensions > Extensions Catalog > search for Panel.ini Editor or expand View All under Server Tools > Install.
- Click Go To Extension next to Panel.ini Editor.
- Switch on Editor tab and add the following lines in Content section:
CONFIG_TEXT: [databaseManagement]
features.phpMyAdmin.loginForm.enabled = on
- Click Save
-
This makes it possible to access phpMyAdmin by browsing the following URL:
CONFIG_TEXT: https://<Plesk-server-host-name-or-IP>:8443/phpmyadmin
If URL shows error, clear browser cache.
- The database user login screen will appear:
- Login to the database with the database username and password.
- If the error "Cannot connect: invalid settings." appears, follow the steps from Cannot connect: invalid settings

With Firefox the following link may also help:
https://<Plesk-server-host-name-or-IP>/domains/databases/phpMyAdmin/index.php?db=databasename
@Peter
I order to use this link it is required to log in to Plesk as 'admin' user first.
