c# - Email Confirmation with MVC 5 and Asp.net Identity

Question

I have been searching, but have not found any documentation on how to implement Email confirmation with MVC 5 using the new ASP.net Identity. There does not seem to be any documentation on this topic (that I could find).

Has anyone solved this yet? I am very surprised that this is not included by default in the default MVC 5 project.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

I have written a step-by-step article on how to add email confirmation when using ASP.NET Identity. You can get the source code here in the project folder AspNetIdentityAspNetIdentityRefApp. I have also created a service layer that encapsulates ASP.NET Identity, making it easier to incorporate in new MVC 5 applications and mimics the WebSecurity API used by SimpleMembership. You can get that class library from AspNetIdentitySimpleSecurity.AspNetIdentity There is also reference app for using this library in AspNetIdentitySimpleSecurity.AspNetIdentity.RefApp. The class library and reference app also show how to implement password reset using a token and basic authentication on Web API's.
