Is there a way to get phpmyadmin to allow other users to logon?

I'm trying to divide up my databases between different users, as using root is probably not the most secure thing to do.

Problem is, when I create a user in phpmyadmin, that user never has permission to actually login to phpmyadmin, so I always have to login as root to manage the databases.

Is there a way to make it so the user can login to phpmyadmin? I want that user to only see it's own database.

The weird part is if I try to use mysql command line, it never even prompts me for a password for the new user, and I can't see anything but the test and information_schema database. It's like if it's not assigning the password properly nor the link to the database.

Managed to get it working, I don't really know what I did but I was just recreating the user and eventually all the settings took I guess. It seems originally it was not applying the password.
