With this plugin, administrators can change the default author base in the registered users profile url, and the author slug of each user. Changing an author slug is a good thing for security (if your login is “This Is Me”, your slug will be “this-is-me”, a bit easy to guess). The plugin adds 2 fields for this purpose, one in permalinks settings, the other in a user profile.

How to edit the slugs
