TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

WP Author Security is for WordPress site owners and administrators who want to prevent attackers from discovering valid usernames on their site. It blocks user enumeration by protecting author pages, the REST API, login and password reset forms, RSS feeds, oEmbeds, and the WordPress sitemap from exposing author names and usernames.
