 ``Startup.cs``
 --------------
 
 ``ConfigureServices()``
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-The first place that we may want to customize our settings is at the bottom of ``ConfigureServices()``.
-When you were testing out your application, you may have accidentally entered an invalid password. 
-The validation conditions for a user's password is an example of one of the settings that can be configured here by using a method called ``services.Configure<IdentityOptions>()``.
-If we wanted to make the minimum number of characters for our password 10 as opposed to 6, we would do the following.
+Now that we are getting to configure our user, let's check out the code in ``ConfigureServices()``.
+Earlier you may have added the following:
 
 .. sourcecode:: csharp
    :linenos:
 
-   services.Configure<IdentityOptions>( options =>
-      options.Password.RequiredLength = 10
-   );
+   services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>
+   (options =>
+   {
+      options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true;
+      options.Password.RequireDigit = false;
+      options.Password.RequiredLength = 10;
+      options.Password.RequireNonAlphanumeric = false;
+      options.Password.RequireUppercase = true;
+      options.Password.RequireLowercase = false;
+   }).AddEntityFrameworkStores<EventDbContext>();
 
-For a full list of the default settings for users' passwords and how we can change those settings, check out the `documentation <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.identity.passwordoptions?view=aspnetcore-3.1>`__.
+This code is dictating the settings for account creation. Right now, for a user to create an account, they have to have the following:
 
-In ``ConfigureServices()``, we can also configure cookie settings, password hashers, user validation requirements, sign in settings and more.
+#. They have to click a link to confirm their account.
+#. Their password has to be more than 10 characters long.
+#. Their password has to include an uppercase letter(s).
 
-``Configure()``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The following is not true for a user to create an account.
 
-Below ``ConfigureServices()``, you will find ``Configure()``. Inside ``Configure()``, we must make sure we have the following:
+#. Their password does not have to include a number.
+#. Their password does not have to include a special character such as a question mark.
+#. Their password does not have to include lowercase letters.

-   app.UseRouting();
-
-   app.UseAuthentication();
-   app.UseAuthorization();
-
-While we did properly scaffold Identity onto our code base, we need to add the calls to ``UseAuthentication()`` and ``UseAuthorization()``.
-Our application uses middleware to relay requests between our application and our database.
-By adding the calls to ``UseAuthentication()`` and ``UseAuthorization()``, we are specifying that we now need authentication middleware to handle these requests.
-Authentication is not just about ensuring users are signed in. It is about protecting data at every point it passes through to make the application work.
+In ``ConfigureServices()``, we can also configure cookie settings, password hashers, user validation requirements, sign in settings and more.
 
 Additional Customizations

@@ -66,7 +66,6 @@ Here are some examples of what you can do with it.
 .. admonition:: Note
 
    If you want to customize user data, it is best to do so when initially scaffolding the app.
-   Identity has a default user class called ``IdentityUser``.
    `IdentityUser <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.identity.entityframeworkcore.identityuser?view=aspnetcore-1.1>`__ has a number of properties that are important and relevant to storing user data.
    However, when you read through the requirements you may notice that you need additional properties, such as the user's first and last name.
