You can

• create another Model for storing profile information about user
• add AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE='yourprofileapp.ProfileModel' to settings.py

• In profile editing view, allow only logged in users to edit their own profiles

  example:

  @login_required
  def edit_profile(request):
      '''
      edit profile of logged in user i.e request.user
      '''
  

• You can also make sure that whenever new user is created the user's profile is also created using django's signals
