great step-by-step explanation. I have doubts about why we have to manually encode the user details using the base64 encoder

How to get user details on controller level?

[@BipinDhingra]

How can we implement POST with this. The above example works only for GET

[@SatyarthProgrammingHub]

Thanks for your comment. Can you explain more about what you are trying to achieve?

[@srikanthreddy9547]

Can we store these in claims ?

[@nileshmore1820]

very good explained .

[@SatyarthProgrammingHub]

Glad it was helpful!

[@patnafamily]

in generic identity why we are passing only username?

[@SatyarthProgrammingHub]

Thanks for commenting. If you carefully look at the login method, We are using both username and password that is hard-coded, you can change that implementation to take the details from the database.
Another place where we are setting the current principal, we can pass the username and roles associated but we have just passed the username as we don't want to give roles at that point of time.
I have explained the same in role based authentication.
Hope this clears your doubt.
