How do I enable email confirmation in ASP.NET Core?

To enable email confirmation in ASP.NET Core, you need to configure your Identity options and set up email services.

What specific steps do I need to follow?

First, ensure you have the necessary NuGet packages installed. Then, configure the email sender in your Startup.cs file.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>()
    .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
    .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

services.Configure<IdentityOptions>(options =>
{
    options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true;
});

This sets up the Identity options to require confirmed accounts.

What about sending the actual email?

You can use an SMTP client or a service like SendGrid. You'll need to implement the email sending logic in your account confirmation method.
