Description: Blocks requests used to enumerate author usernames via ?author= queries.

How it works: block_user_enum_behavior controls whether author enumeration patterns are denied or redirected to reduce username discovery.

How to access / configure:

1. WP Admin → AegisShield → Hardening.
2. Enable “Block author scans / user enumeration”.
3. Save changes.

Recommended setting: Enable; combine with Login Guard and MFA for strongest account protection.
