mvc4 Websecurity.login exception

Question

When I call "WebSecurity.Login("UserName","Password",persistCookie:false)"

The below exception flows

To call this method, the “Membership.Provider” property must be an instance of “ExtendedMembershipProvider”

Here's the code to initialize the connection:

private class SimpleMembershipInitializer
        {
            public SimpleMembershipInitializer()
            {
                    WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("defaultDB", "User", "Id", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true);
            }
        }

And below is the configuration file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Why the above exception flows?

setting following line of code in your web.config :

<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="SimpleRoleProvider">
        <providers>
            <clear />
            <add name="SimpleRoleProvider" type="WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleRoleProvider, WebMatrix.WebData" />
        </providers>
    </roleManager>
    <membership defaultProvider="SimpleMembershipProvider">
        <providers>
            <clear />
            <add name="SimpleMembershipProvider" type="WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleMembershipProvider, WebMatrix.WebData" />
        </providers>
    </membership>
    <sessionState mode="InProc" customProvider="DefaultSessionProvider">
        <providers>
            <add name="DefaultSessionProvider" type="System.Web.Providers.DefaultSessionStateProvider, System.Web.Providers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" />
        </providers>
    </sessionState>
