Add ASP.NET MVC5 Identity Authentication to an existing APP

Question

I have created an application using ASP.NET MVC5 application using 4.7.2 .Net framework. but while creating the project I have selected "NO Authentication". Now I have added couple of pages where I would like to have authentication. I know we can use Identity framework, but I am not able to add it to an existing MVC application. Can anyone have solution for this?

Thanks, it's really hectic but reolves my problem. I strongly beleive we need some third party king of plugin overhere, to reduce these efforts.

@Sanwar and @Jignesh, Do I really need to go through the complete procedure of creating user and user roles? Is their any simple way for tackling this issue?
