I was not able to find the docs for retrieving the JWT AccessToken in ASP.NET .NET 6 after they are saved so I decided to document it here. You may be familiar with the HttpContext.GetTokenAsync() method . This appears to have worked in previous version of .NET, but I could not get it to work in .NET 6. First, make sure you are saving the access tokens in the  AddOpenIdConnect configuration. builder     .Services     .AddAuthentication(options =>     {         options.DefaultScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;         options.DefaultChallengeScheme = OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;     })     .AddCookie()     .AddOpenIdConnect(options =>     {         options.SaveTokens = true;     }); Then, instead of HttpContext.GetTokenAsync(), call HttpContext.AuthenticateAsync(), and get the token out of the AuthenticateResult. var accessToken = authenticateResult?.Properties?.GetString(".Token.access_token"); Hope this helps, Aaron

AKA (for google-fu): asp.net mvc 5 web site administration tool asp.net mvc 5 web configuration tool asp.net mvc 5 identity asp.net mvc 5 membership I have missed the asp.net Web Site Administration Tool that used to be included with Visual Studio. I created an alternative for asp.net mvc 4 you can find here . For asp.net mvc 5, I created an  Azure Site Extension  to provide the same functionality. It can be run from VS on your local machine as well as installed as a site extension on Azure. Links: extension:  https://www.siteextensions.net/packages/AspNetUserMaintenanceAzureSiteExtension/ github repo:  https://github.com/Stonefinch/AspNetUserMaintenanceAzureSiteExtension Hope this helps, Aaron UPDATE These are now published to nuget.org  https://www.nuget.org/packages/AspNetUserMaintenanceAzureSiteExtension/

---------------------- ASP.NET MVC 4 Membership Overview:  http://aaron-hoffman.blogspot.com/2013/02/aspnet-mvc-4-membership-users-passwords.html ---------------------- I recently developed a website to replace the built in ASP.NET Configuration Website Administration Tool provided by Microsoft and Visual Studio. Source available here:  https://github.com/StoneFinch/SmpMaintenance Direct link to download source code: https://github.com/StoneFinch/SmpMaintenance/archive/master.zip This tool has the ability to add new users to a ASP.NET MVC 4 website in bulk.  For example, if you have a list of usernames and passwords that you want to set up new accounts for, you can use the "Bulk Add New Users" functionality. Users can also be added to Roles via this page.  Multiple Roles are separated by spaces. Hope this helps, Aaron

---------------------- Updated for ASP.NET MVC 5 and Identity 2.0. Includes an Azure Site Extension: http://aaron-hoffman.blogspot.com/2016/08/aspnet-mvc-5-user-admin.html ---------------------- ---------------------- ASP.NET MVC 4 Membership Overview:  http://aaron-hoffman.blogspot.com/2013/02/aspnet-mvc-4-membership-users-passwords.html ---------------------- The built in ASP.NET Configuration Website Administration Tool provided by Microsoft and Visual Studio left something to be desired. I have developed an alternative that can be used with ASP.NET MVC 4 SimpleMembershipProvider. Code available here:  https://github.com/StoneFinch/SmpMaintenance Current functionality at the time of this writing:   - Add New Users   - Bulk Add New Users   - Search Users   - Add New Roles   - Edit Existing Users   - Reset User Password (on Edit User page)   - Add Users to Roles   - Remove Users from Roles Hope this helps, Aaron
