1. **Copy the Register View**Copy the provided `register.php` view from the package into your CodeIgniter 4 app's views directory. For example:

    ```
    cp vendor/louisstanley/ci4-shield-username-suggest/src/Views/register.php app/Views/auth/register.php

    ```
2. **Set the View in Shield Config**In your `app/Config/Auth.php`, set the custom register view path:

    ```
    public $views = [
