This plugin would probably work OK if you have a small number of users (e.g. if your site doesn’t allow public login). But if you have a large number of users (e.g. if you are running ecommerce or allow users to register for other reasons), this plugin will probably take down your site.
The reason is that there are hooks that run when you activate or delete the plugin. It runs database fetch and update queries on every user in your database, all in-line on the request (rather than background via a cron). So if you have a thousand or more users it attempts to do a thousand or more database writes when you click Activate or Delete from the plugins list. This will likely grind your website to a halt.
It would be better/useable if you could either choose to only apply these scripts to specific user types (e.g. Author) or if you could run the update in batches in the background.

Easy way to add some obscurity to login guessing.
But please update as it’s over 2 years now.

This plugin should be part of WordPress core. It really does help to hide usernames of Site Users in URL, Which makes hackers to get through the security.

Ooooh, I hated that my author page had my user name instead of the display name I chose. This fixes that!

The default “author” strings doesn’t fit with a lot of other users types. This plugin is an handy way to make the things look better ??

It boggles me that WordPress creates such a wonderful tool for hackers to uncover logins to pound the login page with.

I use this plug-in on my blog [ link redacted, please do not post links in the reviews section ] and it works perfectly. I’ve also recommend it to others, in a post on my blog. Thank you!

I wanted to adjust the author slug and this worked perfectly.

Very helpful to hide the login name – worked on three different blogs with two different themes I’m using. Plus on two of the blogs the author link from the posts was broken. I tried two other Plugins before – this was the first one that fixed it. Thanks!

One star missing until it supports slug rewriting for new users.
