Authentication and Authorization are vital components of modern web app and web API development. ASP.NET Core Identity provides a complete solution to achieve this purpose. While it may seem easy to scaffold a solution with a few clicks, truly adapting it to your specific project requirements demands a deep understanding of how ASP.NET Core Identity works from the inside out.
With 5 sections and about 7 hours of high-quality content created by Frank Liu - a senior software developer with over 20 years of experience in .NET development - this course will empower you with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills.

Clear and logical explanations with diagrams: Gain a solid theoretical understanding of ASP.NET Core authentication and authorization through visually engaging diagrams, providing you with a deeper comprehension of the subject matter.
In-depth exploration: Secure your web app and web APIs without relying solely on ASP.NET Core Identity, understanding what lies beneath the surface.
ASP.NET Core Identity mastery: Learn not only how to code with ASP.NET Core Identity but also comprehend the reasons behind its workings.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Master MFA essentials in ASP.NET Core, starting with Email MFA and progressing to the use of the Authenticator App.
External Authentication Providers: Discover how to integrate social media login with Facebook as an external authentication provider into ASP.NET Core apps.
You will learn the following topics in depth:
Section #1: ASP.NET Core Authentication and Authorization UNDER the HOOD.
You will start with a solid understanding of the theory of ASP.NET Core authentication and authorization first and then you will be learning to secure your web app without using ASP.NET Identity, so that you know what is under the hood. This builds a strong foundation for you.
Section #2: Securing ASP.NET Core Web APIs
Same idea with the previous section, but here we are securing Web APIs.
Section #3: ASP.NET Core Identity In Depth
Now we are getting into ASP.NET Core Identity. Here you will not only learn how to code with ASP.NET Core Identity, but you will learn all the reasons behind the working of Identity with the knowledge you have just learned in the previous sections.
Section #4: MFA in ASP.NET Core Identity
MFA is a must when you work with a public facing website. Hence, this section is very important. After the in-depth explanation of the concept, you will start with a simpler Email MFA scenario, then moving on to the Authenticator App MFA case.
Section #5: Integrate External Authentication Providers into ASP.NET Core apps
