Duvida em "security:authentication property="principal.username""

No começo das aulas em spring security eu usei a tag

<a href="#">
<security:authentication property="principal" var="usuario"/>
        Usuário: ${usuario.username}
    </a>

E ele mostrava o username, no caso o email "admin@casadocodigo.com.br".

Agora no final das aulas eu percebi que a pagina estava exibindo a senha codificada. Então eu fiz um teste:

<a href="#"> <security:authentication
property="principal" var="usuario" /> Usuário:
${usuario.password}
</a>

saida: Usuário:$2a$04$qP517gz1KNVEJUTCkUQCY.JzEoXzHFjLAhPQjrg5iP6Z/UmWjvUhq

href#1 para quando eu olhasse no inspector de ter certeza de estar atualizado

<a href="#1">
<security:authentication
property="principal" var="usuario" /> Usuário:
${usuario.username}
</a>

saida: Usuário:$2a$04$qP517gz1KNVEJUTCkUQCY.JzEoXzHFjLAhPQjrg5iP6Z/UmWjvUhq

<a href="#2"> 
<security:authentication
property="principal" var="usuario" /> Usuário:
${usuario.email}
</a>

saida: Usuário: admin@casadocodigo.com.br

Por que o meu projeto esta diferente? Será por causa de que coloquei versões mais recente no pom.xml do que se pede nas aulas?
