Hey @full loom,

So that component particularly, which renders out the email and password fields, is not customizable at this time. Although, you might be able to write your own email field in your auth collection for some customization here but I'm not entirely certain it will work as I've personally never tried overwriting the default auth fields added to auth collections.

In practice, that component is here: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/ui/src/views/Edit/index.tsx#L553

The component itself looks like this: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/ui/src/views/Edit/Auth/index.tsx#L23
