## What it is
ASP.NET Core Identity is the membership system for ASP.NET Core web applications, providing login, membership, and user data management. This repository is archived; development has moved to the aspnet/AspNetCore repo.

## Use cases
- add login and registration to an ASP.NET Core app
- store and manage user profile data
- implement password and external login flows
- customize user membership data in a web application
- find community storage providers for Identity (MongoDB, Redis, RavenDB)

## When to choose
- you are building an ASP.NET Core web app that needs user accounts and login
- you want a built-in, extensible membership system with pluggable storage providers

## When to avoid
- you need current releases or bug fixes - the project moved to aspnet/AspNetCore
- you are on ASP.NET MVC 5 or earlier - use the AspNetIdentity repo instead

- function: auth, authorization, web-framework
