Login / Registration Screen in Shopware 6 Admin

Let’s see how to find the Login / Registration screen in the Shopware 6 administration:

• Go to your Shopware 6 administration;
• Open its main menu;
• Proceed to the Settings section;
• Open the Shop subsection;
• Hit the Login / Registration button.

It lets you apply various configurations for the login / registration processes that your customers have to pass through. Shopware 6 lets you specify fields displayed in the registration. Besides, you can select ones that will be mandatory. 

It is also worth mentioning that such fields as title, name, and address are mandatory by default within the system. Consequently, you cannot edit them. And the Login / Registration section doesn’t contain these fields at all.

Login / Registration

Next, the following settings are at your disposal:

• Password minimum length – you can specify the minimum number of characters for a customer password;
