Hello how can I set username on Signup for Firebase User. I use firebase Authentication API. I thought about try / catch block and setting User properties like

const user = auth.currentUser;
user.name = 'John123'

Is it possible?

const onSubmitHandler = (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
        e.preventDefault()
        createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password)
        
        
    }

Firebase Authentication has a display name for each user, which can be whatever you want it to be. To set it, call updateProfile as shown in the documentation on updating the user's profile:

await createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password);
updateProfile(auth.currentUser, {
  displayName: "John123"
})

It is full solution

 const onSubmitHandler = (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
        e.preventDefault()
        const createUser = async ( ) => {
            await createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password)
            updateProfile(auth.currentUser!, {
            displayName: "John123" // it can be a value of an input
          })
        }
        createUser()
    }
