Comment:
The author field is no longer used, instead the ownership of the plugin on
wordpress.org is used. This was an intentional change made back in
February. https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2025/02/20/plugin-author-now-
linked-wp-profiles/
As for your example, secure custom fields does appear on that profile
page.
