[Plugin: WP Security Scan] How to alter table prefix safely? (1 post)

    I just discovered this plugin which looks very useful, but I wonder:
    - It claims that the table prefix should be altered to something else than wp_ but how safe is it? (I guess a backup is a good step, but anyhow?)
    - It states that "the database user you're using with WordPress must have ALTER rights" - how/where can I see that?
    - Also "wp-config.php must be set to writable before running this script." - which permissions are correct to use (644?) (and what should it be set to normally? I've learned 444, but the plugin says 644 - slightly off topic, maybe :-)
    Thanks,
    Kjetil
