  function handleInputChange(evt) {
    update(evt.target.name, evt.target.value);
  }

  function handleTermsChange() {
    update('terms', !values.terms);

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <label style={{ display: 'block' }}>
        <b>Username</b>
        <input type="text" name="username" onChange={handleInputChange} />
        {dirtyFields.username && errors?.username && (
