How to add authentication to a .Net Core 2 application using old authentication data?

Question

I created an MVC Core 2.1 application. Now I need to add authentication (and authorization) to it, but I need to use user membership data used by our old applications (tables aspnet_Users, aspnet_Membership etc). I have already asked similar question before ( How can I use existing ASP.NET Membership data in a new .Net Core project? ), but did not receive an answer.

MS posted a howto just recently. It doesn't do what you want directly, instead it migrates data to the new tables. I don't think you can use the old tables without some custom code as the data types and names have changed and the hash algorithms for the password field is different too.
