Magento 2 offers options to configure customer accounts that include name and address options, password configuration, email, contact number, fax, store credit, and many more options.

Today, I’ll explain the method to show gender in customer accounts in Magento 2. The admin can set this option to either optional, required, or no as per the business requirement.

If you offer gender-centric products for male and female or offer complimentary gender-based gifts, etc., you may need to configure the option to show gender in the customer accounts.
