 Hallo there, @vinit86

 This issue has been debated on Slack before :)

 If you are, for example, running a private membership site, where you do
 not want any information about your users displayed publicly, please post
 a question here:
 https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/
 There are several possible solutions to your concerns, but a Trac ticket
 is not the appropriate place to discuss them.
 I am sure that the forum volunteers would be willing to discuss some of
 your options with you.

 The good news is that the REST API team is working on a native basic
 authorization mechanism (so within core), but that is not ready yet.

 All the best.
