In your config `config/config.php` you can define custom fields to extend account information

```auto
<?php

return [

    'account' => [
        'fields' => [

            'adress' => [
                'type' => 'text',
                'label' => 'textarea',
            ],

            'phone' => [
                'type' => 'text',
                'label' => 'Telephone Number'
            ]
        ]
    ],

];

```

Hi @artur , I could add custom fields to user object, however, there is no UI like v1. Any work around with this?
