This project is an ASP.NET Core 8 application that provides identity and authentication features. It includes an implementation for the IEmailSender interface using SendGrid, external login providers templates, custom properties for ApplicationUser, QR code generation for 2FA and structured logging with Serilog. The application is designed to be easy to configure and run, with an SQLite database, so no additional database setup is required.

Configuration

To enable email sender and external login providers, you will need to configure the following:

1. SendGrid API Key:

   Sign up for a SendGrid Account and obtain an API key. Then, add your SendGrid API key in appsettings.json:

   "EmailSettings": {
     "ApiKey": "YourSendGridApiKey",
     "FromAddress": "your.email@example.com",
     "FromName": "Your Name"
   }

2. External Login Providers:

   To use external login options (Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Twitter), you need to register your application with these providers and obtain the necessary credentials. Add these credentials in appsettings.json:

   "AuthSettings": {
      "Microsoft": {
         "Key": "YourMicrosoftClientId",
         "Secret": "YourMicrosoftClientSecret"
      },
      "Google": {
         "Key": "YourGoogleClientId",
         "Secret": "YourGoogleClientSecret"
      },
      "Facebook": {
         "Key": "YourFacebookAppId",
         "Secret": "YourFacebookAppSecret"
      },
      "Twitter": {
         "Key": "YourTwitterConsumerKey",
         "Secret": "YourTwitterConsumerSecret"
      }
   }
