Blazor Identity is an experimental project that rebuilds the standard user login and account management screens for ASP.NET Core web apps using a newer technology called Blazor. Instead of relying on the default, older-style web pages that Microsoft's framework normally generates for handling users, it recreates those same screens as interactive Blazor components. The practical benefit is that developers get a modern, single-page-app feel for their login and account flows, consistent with the rest of a Blazor-built application. At a high level, the project handles the core user lifecycle operations that most web apps need. It provides screens for registering a new user, logging in, logging out, updating a user's profile (currently just telephone number), and changing a password. Under the hood, it still uses the same built-in identity system that ASP.NET Core provides, so the underlying security and data storage remain the same. The difference is entirely in how the user interface is built and delivered to the browser. The primary audience is developers building web applications with Blazor who want their account management screens to feel as interactive and responsive as the rest of their app. For example, a startup building a customer portal in Blazor Server might use this so that signing in or updating a profile doesn't require a clunky, full-page reload, making the experience feel smoother for end users. The project is explicitly an exploration, and the README notes several features that are not yet implemented. Two-factor authentication, password recovery, social login, and account deletion are all on the roadmap but not currently available. It also currently only supports Blazor Server apps, not the WebAssembly variant, and requires a preview build of the .NET SDK, meaning it is not yet ready for simple drop-in use in production environments.
