Resp is 'Bummer: Should be called to sanitize 'my_plugin_username'.

I've copied the code from the video step by step. Which step consists of 'sanitizing'?

plugin.php 
<?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'] ) )
$hidden_field=esc_html( ['my_plugin_hidden_field'] );
if ($hidden_field == 'Y')  
  $my_plugin_username =esc_html($POST ['my_plugin_username'] )


?>
