To add custom fields to phx.gen.auth safely, you update the registration_changeset, LiveView forms, and test fixtures without modifying the original generated migrations, ensuring validations propagate correctly.

The registration_changeset must be updated to include new fields and maintain validations, ensuring custom user attributes pass through context functions and LiveView registration forms correctly.

phx.gen.auth supports custom user fields by extending the generated schemas, LiveView forms, and tests, allowing bespoke registration flows while preserving the original authentication structure.

Phoenix auth tests fail after adding fields because fixtures and tests must be synced with the extended user schema, including proper confirmation handling and updated changeset validations.

The best way to update LiveView registration forms is to pass new fields through context functions and the registration_changeset, ensuring changes propagate through the entire authentication flow.

You can extend Phoenix authentication schemas without modifying generated migrations by applying changes to schemas, changesets, and tests separately, preserving the original migration files.
