    The problem is you selected "StatusMessage.cshtml" which does not contain a cs file. Therefore, there is no "Areas" namespace in the code.
    Try again but select Login or any Razor Page that has a cs file. Or add a class to the project that has the following namespace to get past the compiler error.

    namespace AuthenticationTutorial1.Areas.Identity.Pages.Account
    {
        public class MyClass
        {
        }
    }
