From Solution Explorer , right-click on the project > Add > New Scaffolded Item . From the left pane of the Add New Scaffolded Item dialog, select Identity . Select Identity in the center pane. Select the Add button. In the Add Identity dialog, select the options you want. If you have an existing, customized layout page for Identity ( _Layout.cshtml ), select your existing layout page to avoid overwriting your layout with incorrect markup by the scaffolder. For example, select either: Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml for Razor Pages or Blazor Server projects with existing Razor Pages infrastructure. Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml for MVC projects or Blazor Server projects with existing MVC infrastructure. For the data context ( DbContext class ): Select your data context class. You must select at least one file to add your data context. To create a data context and possibly create a new user class for Identity, select the + button. Accept the default value or specify a class (for example, Contoso.Data.ApplicationDbContext for a company named "Contoso"). To create a new user class, select the + button for User class and specify the class (for example, ContosoUser for a company named "Contoso"). Select the Add button to run the scaffolder.
