How do I add more account fields for user registration?

Question

I'm using the default form found in the Craft CMS docs, however I'd like to create more fields other than username, password and email. How would I add more custom fields to capture user data like address, phone number etc?

Answer 1

Create the input fields as you would any other, maybe add them to a 'users' group, then you can go to:

/admin/settings/users/fields

and add them via the layout designer, you should then see them appear when viewing a user in the admin area, under the profile tab I believe :)
