@MrFoxcroft: Thanks for the feedback. If there's specifics you feel the docs are missing, we'd love to hear what would help you so we can fill that gap on https://docs.microsoft.com. Identity is a fairly lightweight plugin system for authorization.

You mentioned re folder access "That clearly is really the only purpose of the framework, but not explained." Identity's purpose isn't to provide access to folders, Windows Authentication has been the solution for years for that - since it works on the security that's already used on your folders. You can find details for example here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/windowsauth

If you are looking for solutions with more configuration, features, etc then check out the list we maintain at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/community and you'll find some really nice ones there like IdentityServer.

If you want a simple, easy to configure Identity solution to enable users to add login functionality to your application through custom accounts or third party providers, then Identity works well here. It should require little configuration to get up and running, the out of the box templates give you enough to get started, we wanted to dive into customizing a bit more in the video but that doesn't mean what we covered isn't documented. Check out https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/identity?tabs=visual-studio

Other features we discussed are documented, like two factor authentication (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/2fa). We've put a ton of work into docs.microsoft.com and if you feel it's missing something let us know we want to make it right!

Be sure to check out github for various samples as well. These differ on the type of sample you are looking for but for example a quick Startup.cs to show various config options: https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/tree/master/aspnetcore/security/authentication/identity/sample/src

Thank you!

@Why: Sorry you are having issues, I just tested and < 2 mins for entire high quality file.

You do, but can get one cheap (Mac Mini for ex) or use a cloud based Mac provider (I haven't tried the full workflow with a cloud provider though - not sure if you can provision initially there or not)

@neetukhatra: in the video I mention these two resources, definitely check them out!
