Move credentials outside of the webroot
I've created a new tutorial that shows how to move credentials outside of the webroot. By default TYPO3 stores any kind of configuration into file typo3conf/localconf.php. Besides graphics configuration, etc... also database username/password and the encryption key is stored in there.
Although there's no way to get hold of this data as website user, I personal don't like the approach to store data that is intented to kept private inside the webroot.
The tutorial does explain the reasons in more detail. Have a look!
