Comment:

 Hi @jaschaio, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 > There is a action called "user_register" that lets me do something once
 the user is created, but it doesn't let me modify the actual data the
 "wp_insert_user" function returns.

 `wp_insert_user()` does not return user data though, just user ID on
 success or a `WP_Error` object on failure.

 There are filters for individual fields and metadata, any reason they
 don't work for your use case?
 * `pre_user_login`
 * `pre_user_nicename`
 * `pre_user_url`
 * `pre_user_email`
 * `pre_user_nickname`
 * `pre_user_first_name`
 * `pre_user_last_name`
 * `pre_user_display_name`
 * `pre_user_description`
 * `insert_user_meta`
