Skip fields in registration

[Josyula Krishna]

Hi, I'm new to web2py, I'm trying to build an authentication system where the user can skip his email, firstname, lastname, How can i do this other than creating a custom table for authentication? 

I did try 

auth.settings.registration_requires_email = False

 auth.define_tables(username=True, signature=False,email=False)

doing that but it doesnt seem to work, please help.

Are you saying you want to allow users to register with just a username and password and optionally fill in their email address and name at a later time (via the profile function)? Not tested, but maybe something like:

def user():
    if request.args(0) == 'register':
        for field in ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email']:
            db.auth_user[field].readable = db.auth_user[field].writable = False
    return dict(form=auth())
