Hi,

I am trying to get the user id once the user signs up. However when i use the useAuth0() hook. I only get the users object that only has a “sub” field. But it doesn’t contain the user id. I was wondering how I can explicitly get the user id. Thanks!

According to the link below, it is the `sub` field.

Did you create a different field as the user’s id?
