 * Not sure if I missed this being removed from the plugin or what but I can no 
   longer hide the security issue for username “admin”. I know it’s an issue but
   the sites I am managing that still use it are not really a security risk. Any
   chance of adding it back or pointing me to where it moved to? Running latest 
   versions of everything on a dedicated server.
