Connect to MySQL using Windows Authentication

This is just bad security method.

Because the only way you can connect to the mysql database is via that pc you use.

Where is if you username/pwd, you can move the site to another server, etc.

So Windows Authentication is a bad idea, too easy to overcome, and honestly just not that secure.

Where as a username and strong password, that changes every so often, that’s much better security.

But it’s like this, if your insistent on driving your car over a cliff, we won’t get in your way, but you won’t like the results of your choices.
