Introduction

ASP.NET Identity is the latest feature in ASP.NET Membership System. The ASP.NET Membership System is used to fulfil the Membership requirement of a site. That involved Forms Authentication, and a SQL Server database for user names, passwords, profile data, etc. But as the web evolve, it is not only about user that it will enter login and password and registered in your application. The current era is really enhanced. A modern membership system must enable redirection-based log-ins to authentication providers like different social network websites.

ASP.NET Identity can be implemented for all types of solutions by customizing it appropriately according to the requirement.

So to customize the ASP.NET Identity according to our requirement, one must have to be some deep understanding to code behind. A simple way to customize the ASP.NET Identity is that we may use the following easy steps to customize the ASP.NET Identity according to our own requirements.

Steps

1. Create an ASP.NET MVC Project with individual account (You may use ASP.NET Identity in other Projects of ASP.NET Web Forms, Web API, SignalR etc.).

      [Required]   
      [DataType(DataType.Text)]   
      [Display(Name =     "University Name:"    )]   
      public string  UniversityName 
      {   
                 get      ;       set      ;       
      }    
   
      [Required]   
      [DataType(DataType.Text)]   
      [Display(Name =     "Admin Name:"    )]   
      public string  AdminName 
      {   
                 get      ;       set      ;       
      }

                 get      ;       set      ;       
      }    
   
      [Required]   
      [DataType(DataType.PostalCode)]   
      [Display(Name =     "Postal Code:"    )]   
      public string  PostalCode 
      {   
                 get      ;       set      ;      
      }   
   
      [Required]   
      [DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]   
      [Display(Name =     "Street Address:"    )]   
      public string  StreetAddress 
      {  
                 get      ;       set      ;      
      }    
   
      [Required]
