WordPress show your WordPress login and ID in several places. It’s time to fix this !
<ul>
<li>WordPress automaticaly uses “User login” to fill in the “User Display Name”.</li>
<li>WordPress also allows everyone to use the same value for Nickname, Display Name and Login.</li>
<li>The body_class function also shows to everyone your User ID and Login on author pages.</li>
</ul>
A hacker can easily see then use your “NickName” or “Display Name” to find your real login. Once activated, SX User Name Security will prevent WordPress from showing those informations, and will warn you if you need to fix old users.

<ul>
<li>Removes User ID from body_class function (front-end users pages)</li>
