The page source EXPOSING the site Admin name: http://prntscr.com/pv4hnu. When TITLES/METAS are turned off it then disappears: http://prntscr.com/pv4srn

I just downloaded 3.7.3 from the WP repo and my Admin name disappears thankfully.

As answered in FB group, this is a public data.
There are several ways to get these data.

You can change this behavior using this hook: https://www.seopress.org/…/hooks/filter-author-meta-name/

That filter does not work.

This exposed data should NOT be turned on by default as we should have the option to activate this, plus there is no button to turn it OFF: http://prntscr.com/pvs567

We need to be able to DISABLE this off without having to insert codes!

This is not resolved!

The next minor update will add a check to remove author meta if username == display name.
