Unprotected website admin login

Hello:

I worked before in some websites, but this time, with joomla 3.10.6 I have this problem:

When I switch on xampp (localhost) and I type the admin login screen, joomla prevents me that is not a safe connection, so I press switch to a private, but only says that someone is listening to get passwords, databases, and so on. The other option is to enter anyway, I tried this a few times, but I only can work for a couple of sessions( two days), and when I try to enter again, xampp drops errors, that says that database can not initialize, I restore the db with the backup, but all databases are corrupted. So I can not do any progress on my work. What I can do?

Thank you for your time.

It's your browser that complaints because the site is not running https.

Try Wamp imho it's better than mamp for localhost on a PC.
