ASP.NET Core Identity: redirect to profile

Question

I am developing an ASP.NET Core (razor pages) site. I have extended the Identity user and added some extra fields (image 1).
I want to redirect a loged in user to profile page if the extra fields are not completed and redirect to root page if profil is completed.

So in the login page I tried to add:

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(Input.Email, Input.Password, Input.RememberMe, lockoutOnFailure: false);  
                if (result.Succeeded)  
                {  
                    _logger.LogInformation("User logged in.");  
                      
                    var currentUser = await _signInManager.UserManager.GetUserAsync(User);  
  
                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(currentUser.FirstName))  
                    {  
                        returnUrl ??= Url.Content("~/");  
                    }  
                    else  
                    {  
                        returnUrl ??= Url.Content("~/Identity/Account/Manage");  
                    }  
  
  
                    return LocalRedirect(returnUrl);  

If I run the app I keep geting currentUser object null.

Hi @Thomas Gerodimos ,

var currentUser = await _signInManager.UserManager.GetUserAsync(User)    

The issue relates above code, if you set a break point to check the User, you can see it doesn't contain the login user.

To find the current user after login success, you can try to use the FindByEmailAsync method, code like this:

var currentUser = await _signInManager.UserManager.FindByEmailAsync(Input.Email);  

The result as below:

Besides, the UserManager also provide method to find the user by id or name, you can check the UserManager<TUser> Class
