Not sure if this is a bug, an issue with doc or just I've miss-understood, however believe I have solved my problem.

IdentityHostingStartup.cs contained;

services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>() .AddEntityFrameworkStores<myProjectContext>();

have commented this out and it seems to be working so far.

How do you configure the RequiredConfirmEmail and RequiredConfirmedPhoneNumber when this service code is commented out?

[simeyla]

@jimgit I think what he was saying was he had BOTH services.AddDefaultIdentity and services.AddIdentity defined in the same startup file.

Well that's what I had :-)

In my case I had AddDefaultIdentity in Startup and IdentityHostingStartup
I think problem in scaffolding. I created project and after that I scaffold Identity and had 2 registration AddDefaultIdentity

For others.

I store my context in another project (which is probably the reason it did not get populated in the drop down for creating the identity).

So I removed the following line from IdentityHostingStartup.cs

 services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<CreatedContext>();

and updated the Startup.cs file with

services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<CreatedContext>();

I did´t notice right away that the CreatedContext derived from IdentityDbConext

 public class CreatedContext : IdentityDbContext<IdentityUser>

i have a similar issue but If i comment out that line that creates the identity I get no identy created but if I keep it I create 2 . I don't understand how this is possible. here is my startup.cs

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.UI;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpsPolicy;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using WebApp1.Data;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

namespace WebApp1
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            Configuration = configuration;
        }

        public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.Configure<CookiePolicyOptions>(options =>
            {
                // This lambda determines whether user consent for non-essential cookies is needed for a given request.
                options.CheckConsentNeeded = context => true;
                options.MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.None;
            });

            services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
                options.UseSqlServer(
                    Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));

            services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>()
       // services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>()
            .AddEntityFrameworkStores<WebApp1.Models.WebApp1Context>()
            .AddDefaultTokenProviders();


            services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_2);
        }

        // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
        {
            if (env.IsDevelopment())
            {
                app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
                app.UseDatabaseErrorPage();
            }
            else
            {
                app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
                // The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
                app.UseHsts();
            }

            app.UseHttpsRedirection();
            app.UseStaticFiles();
            app.UseCookiePolicy();

            app.UseAuthentication();

            app.UseMvc();
        }
    }
}

I think its scoffoling problem that add these line in IdentityHostingStartup.cs without checking services
please check ! @Rick-Anderson
run this :

dotnet new mvc -o MvcAuth -au Individual
code -r MvcAuth
dotnet add package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design
dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity -dc MyWeb.Data.ApplicationDbContext

now you have the problem

[meyer315]

Sturlath, this worked for me as well...does anyone know if there will be any issues if

services.AddDefaultIdentity()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores();

are removed from the IdentityHostingStartup.cs file or is this required in a different way?

[asynts]

For reference, I had the same issue when using services.AddDefaultIdentity() with services.AddAuthentication().AddIdentityCookies().
