Description

See [this Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/57074910/2263507) question.

This article doesn't describe how to migrate anything. Migration of 'Identity' implies migration of data, but this article doesn't discuss that at all.

There's a package AspNetCoreCompat intended to help with that, but no documentation for it. https://github.com/aspnet/Identity/issues/2043

Some information about how to migrate the schema would be very useful. There is a similar article for Membership > Identity which contains SQL but this article has none.
