Hi Rami,

You can use UserManager class in Identity to retrieve the user information defined in your own ApplicationUser class.

UserManager<TUser>.GetUserAsync(ClaimsPrincipal) Method (Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity) | Microsoft Learn

For parameter principal it is available in Razor page or MVC Controller class directly after the user is authenticated.

its saved in the default user identity table. I have the below code with no errors but no photo shown.

<div class="profile-wrapper">

<img src="@User.FindFirst("PictureSource")?.Value" class="profile" />

<div class="titles d-flex flex-column ps-3">

<h6 class="mb-0">Expense Tracher</h6>

<span class="text-muted">Logged In</span>

</div>

</div>

Hi Rami, depends on where you save the photo attribute to, you just need to query it from the store. You can use entity framework for this. 

Yes, photo is included in the response JWT token payload:

GoogleJsonWebSignature.Payload.Picture

Hi Again Raymond,

I came up with a question. Is there a way to get the profile photo from google using the payload?

Thanks for the info. I will also try the extension.

I found this extension which seems to work as expected:

Would love to see it nativley supported by VS code though. There is an open issue for it:

You are welcome. I am glad it now works for you.

Thanks alot for helping me out. I finally managed to do it.

private readonly SignInManager<IdentityUser> _signManager;

private readonly UserManager<IdentityUser> _userManager;

public HomeController(UserManager<IdentityUser> userManager, SignInManager<IdentityUser> signManager)

{

_userManager = userManager;

_signManager = signManager;

}

and in my function:

var user = new IdentityUser { UserName = payload.Email, Email = payload.Email };

await _userManager.CreateAsync(user).ConfigureAwait(false);

await _signManager.SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false).ConfigureAwait(false);

return RedirectToAction("Index","Category");
