First off what is wrong with people seeing other people's ip's. It isn't like that is confidential information, it is sent out all over the web by the browser.

Second the password encryption routine won't work... it is a 1 way encryption, so once it is encrypted you can never decrypt it.

And if you trust someone enough to give them access to phpmyadmin... then why wouldn't you trust them to see a few ip's which I doubt they would use or need.
