Stops visitors from discovering usernames through ?author=N URLs, the public REST API users endpoint, the users sitemap and oEmbed data.
Shows the same "check your email" screen for unknown usernames and emails on the lost password form, so it cannot be used to find valid accounts.
Blocks the REST API users endpoint for logged-in users who cannot edit posts, such as subscribers and shop customers, so a low-level account cannot list your authors and their usernames.
When a user's public display name is the same as their login name (the WordPress default), switches it to their first and last name, or to a neutral name, so author bylines and comments do not reveal usernames.
Strips the author and commenter usernames WordPress adds to body and comment classes, closing a quiet way to discover login names.
Gives new users an author URL slug based on their user ID instead of their login name, and adds a one-click fix under Users for existing accounts whose author URL shows their username.
