So I've created inputs in two functions and on Onchange it gets the value that is being input into them. But anytime I type into the inputs I can only type a letter at a time before it is unfocused and I believe this is because the component keeps on rendering. I've also realized that whenever I remove the Onchange and value props then everything goes back to normal and I'm able to type everything easily. How would I fix this?

One solution is to move the Emailform outside of your parent component.

const Emailform = ({ onChange }) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <label>Email:</label>
      <form>
        <input
          type="email"
          name="email"
          required="true"
          onChange={onChange}
        />
      </form>
    </div>
  );
};

const App = () => {
  const [email, setEmail] = useState("");
  return (
    <div>
        <Emailform onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)} />
    </div>
  );
};

Don't put your component definition inside the other component. If you do it, you create a new component at every render.

You need to work around to move Emailform, Passform to outside of Auth.
