This action can be used to add a form to the backend user editing screen and save some additional user meta data.

For example to add a field for the users birthday:

function userMetaBirthdayForm(WP_User $user) {
?>
<h2>Birthday</h2>
	<table class="form-table">
		<tr>
			<th><label for="user_birthday">Birthday</label></th>
			<td>
				<input
					type="date"
					value="<?php echo esc_attr(get_user_meta($user->ID, 'birthday', true)); ?>"
					name="user_birthday"
					id="user_birthday"
				>
				<span class="description">Some description to the input</span>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
<?php
}
add_action('show_user_profile', 'userMetaBirthdayForm'); // editing your own profile
add_action('edit_user_profile', 'userMetaBirthdayForm'); // editing another user
add_action('user_new_form', 'userMetaBirthdayForm'); // creating a new user

function userMetaBirthdaySave($userId) {
	if (!current_user_can('edit_user', $userId)) {
		return;
	}

	update_user_meta($userId, 'birthday', $_REQUEST['user_birthday']);
}
add_action('personal_options_update', 'userMetaBirthdaySave');
add_action('edit_user_profile_update', 'userMetaBirthdaySave');
