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.
