Answer 1

I customised to login logout and it is working well but I need customer name two thing I used for customised

1) link.php

2) authorization.phtml

I have such code in link.php:

if (false != $this->getTemplate()) {
     return parent::_toHtml();
     }
     return '<div><a ' . $this->getLinkAttributes() . ' >' . $this->escapeHtml($this->getLabel()) . '</a></div>';
    }

There are two way

1. Using object manager into your phtml file:

   $objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
   $customerSession = $objectManager->create('Magento\Customer\Model\Session');
   
   if ($customerSession->isLoggedIn()) {
       $customerSession->getCustomerId();  // get Customer Id
       $customerSession->getCustomerGroupId();
       $customerSession->getCustomer();
       $customerSession->getCustomerData();
   
       echo $customerSession->getCustomer()->getName();  // get  Full Name
      echo $customerSession->getCustomer()->getEmail(); // get Email
   }
   

2. Construct customer session class into your relevant block and create a function to get Customer name. Then call your block function from your phtml file.

Use the below function in your helper file with Magento\Customer\Model\Session to get session object in $customerSession

public function getLoggedinCustomerName(){

        if($customerSession->getData('customer_id'))
        {
            $customer = $this->_customerRepositoryInterface->getById($customerSession->getData('customer_id'));
            return $customer->getFirstname();
        }
        else
        {
            return "Guest";
        }
    }

and in use it in your PHTML file

<?php
$customerName = $helper->getLoggedinCustomerName();
?>
 <a href="<?php echo $block->getUrl('customer/account/'); ?>">
                <i class="fa fa-user" aria-hidden="true"></i>
                <span class="label"><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo 'Hello '. $customerName; ?></span>
            </a>

Php Block --

$customer =  $this->customerRepository->getById($this->customerSession->getCustomerId()); 


echo $block->getLayout()->createBlock('Magento\Customer\Block\Widget\Name')->setObject($customer)->toHtml()

Some case: Bug of Magento 2 when you turn on caches. You must reload customer sections when customer logged in. Check etc/sections.xml and customer-data.js you will know how to reload customer sections. Regards.
