Molongui Authorship Pro has an option to automatically update any byline displayed on your site so assigned authors are displayed instead of the name of the user who actually created the post. That functionality has some limitations when displaying multiple authors (it cannot link each author to his/her posts archive page) and it even might cause incompatibilities with third plugins.
To overcome those limitations and possible issues, the plugin has some template tags you can use to achieve a complete integration with your theme and plugins. Check out this article to know how to use them.
But if you do not have any coding skills or prefer not to touch any code, you have another option: use the shortcode the plugin provides to display the byline. This shortcode can be used anywhere, not just in the byline of a post. Check this article out to read detailed information on how to use that shortcode.
The trivial shortcode will display the author(s) of the current post being displayed with link(s) to author(s) archive page. That would be useful to replace the default byline. Check the shortcode and its output below:

Examples
The shortcode mentioned above accepts several attributes that modify the output you get. Check this article out to know all the available attributes and its usage. You might find that useful to change the styles of the displayed text or to show authorship information from other posts, for instance. See some examples below:

The shortcode below will display the names of the authors who wrote the article with ID=1 preceded by the “Written by” text:
