You are using the built-in asp.net membership providers whose defaults settings are such that they require a user to enter particular fields like username, password etc. to enter during registration. In your web.config, you can find this section :-

<membership>
  <providers>
    <clear/>
    <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices"
         enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false"
         maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10"
         applicationName="/" />
  </providers>
</membership>

For the things, you are looking after, I would suggest you to first understand how this membership stuff works and then see how can you customize it accordingly.
