Login error in Asp.net mvc - asp.net

Question

I'm having a bit of an issue.
I am finishing work on my first mvc app and I'm using the default Login and Registration Actions.They work, but when I seed the db with initial data I add an administrator user(the user is added to the database correctly). When I try to login as this user - I cannot pass the authentication, I get an error saying "wrong password"
Any help would be strongly appreciated.(I really have no clue)
I am using mvc 5,identity 3.0, entityframework 6.
My account controller actions are
public async Task<IActionResult> Login(LoginViewModel model, string returnUrl = null)
{
ViewData["ReturnUrl"] = returnUrl;
// if (ModelState.IsValid){
// This doesn't count login failures towards account lockout
// To enable password failures to trigger account lockout, set lockoutOnFailure: true
var result = await _signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(model.Email, model.Password, model.RememberMe, lockoutOnFailure: false);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
_logger.LogInformation(1, "User logged in.");
return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
}
if (result.RequiresTwoFactor)
{
return RedirectToAction(nameof(SendCode), new { ReturnUrl = returnUrl, RememberMe = model.RememberMe });
}
if (result.IsLockedOut)
{
_logger.LogWarning(2, "User account locked out.");
return View("Lockout");
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, "Invalid login attempt.");
return View(model);
}
// }
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
// return View(model);
}
//
// GET: /Account/Register
[HttpGet]
[AllowAnonymous]
public IActionResult Register()
{
return View();
}
//
// POST: /Account/Register
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser {UserName = model.UserName, Name = model.Name, Email = model.Email,BirthDate = model.BirthDate, LastName = model.Name };
PasswordHasher<ApplicationUser> a = new PasswordHasher<ApplicationUser>();
var result = await _userManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{ await_signInManager.SignInAsync(user,isPersistent:false);
await _userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user, "User");
_logger.LogInformation(3, "User created a new account with password.");
return RedirectToAction(nameof(HomeController.Index), "Home");
}
AddErrors(result);
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
And this is my data seed method (with class). it is called in the StartupCS after setting the routing.
public static async void Initialize(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
var context = serviceProvider.GetService<ApplicationDbContext>();
bool need= false;
try
{
if (context.Users.Count() == 0)
need = true;
}
catch (Exception)
{ }
if (need)
{
string[] roles = new string[] { "Administrator", "User" };
foreach (string role in roles)
{
var roleStore = new RoleStore<IdentityRole>(context);
if (!context.Roles.Any(r => r.Name == role))
{
await roleStore.CreateAsync(new IdentityRole(role));
}
}
await context.SaveChangesAsync();
var user = new ApplicationUser
{
Name = "Admin",
LastName = "Admin",
Email = "admin#gmail.com",
NormalizedEmail = "ADMIN#GMAIL.COM",
UserName = "Owner",
NormalizedUserName = "OWNER",
PhoneNumber = "[phone]",
};
var password = new PasswordHasher<ApplicationUser>();
var hashed = password.HashPassword(user, "secret");
user.PasswordHash = hashed;
var userStore = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(context);
var result = userStore.CreateAsync(user);
UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager = serviceProvider.GetService<UserManager<ApplicationUser>>();
//If I try this way - it keeeps on awaiting.
// var result =await _userManager.CreateAsync(user, "lol");
//the role seems to be working fine
var result2 = await _userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user, "Administrator");
}
}
}
