Bug in solutions: Assign it the HTML escaped value of the my_plugin_username input field.

This is my answer

<?php

function my_plugin_options_page() {

    if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        wp_die('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.');
    }
  if ( isset( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field'] ) ) {

       $my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field'] );

  }


}

?>
