I found a cleaner solution after some digging. In db.py, after creating the auth object, include the line:
auth.settings.register_fields = ['id', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'password'] or if when you created the auth object you passed in username=True, include the line: auth.settings.register_fields = ['id', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'username', 'password'] This list is by default None, which actually means grab everything from the auth_user database fields. By setting it to a fixed list, you can control which of the auth_user fields are actually used in the registration form.
