Since userID and UserKey are the only fields that actually nee to be given a value, this will work regardless of the number of other fields added.

However, that's not needed any more.. With recent version of the firmware (4.31 or newer), it's far more productive to use Sideloaded mode.

Edit /.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf

And in the [ApplicationPreferences] section, add a line:
SideloadedMode=true.

Thanks Rashkae, great info!
