I remember hearing that you could add, edit and arrange fields for storing user data in Drupal 7, but initially couldn’t figure out just where to do this. This pretty much does what the Profile module had done in previous versions.

Just go to:

Configuration > People > Account Settings

Then click on the Manage Fields tab, and then just manage the fields just like you would for a Content Type.

It’s so simple. If you feel that you need more features than what’s provided in core, the Profile 2 module seems like something worth checking out.

Je cherche depuis hier. Et c’est simple!!!
Exit Profile2 module

Note that if this tab isn’t showing on your Account Settings screen, then it’s probably because you have the “Field UI” module disabled. Enable it and then you’ll be able to use the page shown in the screenshot.

Thanks for your post on adding more fields to the user account page in drupal 7, I was actually on that page but still did not see the tab untill I read your post.

Thanks
