+## About
+
+`Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore` utilizes Entity Framework Core to provide functionality enabling the storage of user, role, and other identity-related data in a database.
+
+## Key Features
+
+* Provides user and role management
+* Enables secure authentication and authorization mechanisms
+* Allows storage and validatation of user passwords using hashing
+* Tracks email confirmation for user account validation
+* Tracks two-factor authentication to provide an extra layer of security
+* Tracks failed login attempts to help protect against brute-force attacks enabling locking out user accounts after multiple failed login attempts
+* Uses claims to define fine-grained access control policies
+* Seamlessly integrates with Entity Framework Core for data storage and retrieval
+
+## How to Use
+
+To use `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore`, follow these steps:
+
+### Installation
+
+```sh
+dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Add the following code to the `Program.cs` of your ASP.NET Core app:
+
+```csharp
+builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
+    options.UseSqlServer(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
+
+builder.Services.AddDefaultIdentity<ApplicationUser>()
+    .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>();
+```
+
+You can replace `ApplicationDbContext` with your own database context class derived from `IdentityDbContext` and `ApplicationUser` with your own user class containing additional properties derived from `IdentityUser`.
+
+Make sure to [configure the connection string](https://learn.microsoft.com/ef/core/miscellaneous/connection-strings#aspnet-core) via "ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection" (or whatever you rename it to) so it can connect to your database.
+
