Wrap what should stay private. Guests get a signup card.
Try the live gate under this banner. Logged-out visitors see the card. Logged-in visitors see the rest. Hidden text is removed on the server, so View Source does not leak it.

Log in from a compact popup, stay in the same tab, or open Users in a new tab.
