 Currently, WordPress does not provide a built-in option to control the
 indexing of Author pages. Many users prefer not to index developer or site
 designer names.

 Feature Request:
 - Add a checkbox under "Settings > Reading" (or "Users > Profile") to
 enable or disable indexing of Author archive pages.
 - Default should be "Indexed" (checked), but users can disable indexing if
 needed.
 - This will prevent the need for custom code or SEO plugins.

 This feature will help users control author page indexing without relying
 on third-party SEO plugins.
