Open this file \\app\\Http\\Controllers\\Auth\\AuthController.php

Change you two methods like following:

protected function validator(array $data)
{
    return Validator::make($data, [
        'name' => 'required|max:255',
        'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
        'new_field_name' => 'required|any_other_validation_if_needed',
        'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
    ]);
}

protected function create(array $data)
{
    return User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'db_column_name' => $data['new_field_name'], // it will more bug free if you use same db_column_name and new_field_name
        'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
    ]);
}
