altering the asp.net mvc default user account

Question

I've been trying to use the default accounting feature of MVC and it keeps failing.

I would like to change a couple of things in it but it doesn't seem to work.

1. I want to make the username to be the email.
2. I don't want to have the question and answer of the password fields. (When I tried to remove them it gave me an error that I didn't supply these items).
3. I want to add additional fields to the member like first name, last name, address and so on.

How can I achieve that? Is there a more dynamic way to do that instead of the default accounting feature of MVC?

Thanks.
