How do I make a login screen using membership and mvc 5?

I'll teach you the way to Simple Membership . Learned this, I can pass as it does a more sophisticated authentication scheme.

First you need to initialize Membership. This is usually done by a Filter , like this one below:

YourProject / Filters / InitializeSimpleMembershipAttribute.cs

using System;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure;
using System.Threading;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using WebMatrix.WebData;
using SeuProjeto.Models;

namespace SeuProjeto.Filters
{
    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = true)]
    public sealed class InitializeSimpleMembershipAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
    {
        private static SimpleMembershipInitializer _initializer;
        private static object _initializerLock = new object();
        private static bool _isInitialized;

        public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
        {
            // Ensure ASP.NET Simple Membership is initialized only once per app start
            LazyInitializer.EnsureInitialized(ref _initializer, ref _isInitialized, ref _initializerLock);
        }

        private class SimpleMembershipInitializer
        {
            public SimpleMembershipInitializer()
            {
                Database.SetInitializer<UsersContext>(null);

                try
                {
                    using (var context = new UsersContext())
                    {
                        if (!context.Database.Exists())
                        {
                            // Create the SimpleMembership database without Entity Framework migration schema
                            ((IObjectContextAdapter)context).ObjectContext.CreateDatabase();
                        }
                    }

                    WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("DefaultConnection", "UserProfile", "UserId", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    throw new InvalidOperationException("The ASP.NET Simple Membership database could not be initialized. For more information, please see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=256588", ex);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This creates the minimum of the minimum for your logins system, in this case 4 internal tables and a table called UserProfiles , which will be used to register the logins and passwords of your application.

Also note that there is such a UsersContext , which should be created as a Model in the Models directory. Here are some additional templates that will be used to configure your Views:

Your Project \ Models \ AccountModels.cs

public class UsersContext : DbContext
{
    public UsersContext()
        : base("DefaultConnection")
    {
    }

    public DbSet<UserProfile> UserProfiles { get; set; }
}

[Table("UserProfile")]
public class UserProfile
{
    [Key]
    [DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public int UserId { get; set; }
    public string UserName { get; set; }
}

public class RegisterExternalLoginModel
{
    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "User name")]
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    public string ExternalLoginData { get; set; }
}

public class LocalPasswordModel
{
    [Required]
    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [Display(Name = "Current password")]
    public string OldPassword { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]
    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [Display(Name = "New password")]
    public string NewPassword { get; set; }

    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [Display(Name = "Confirm new password")]
    [Compare("NewPassword", ErrorMessage = "The new password and confirmation password do not match.")]
    public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }
}

public class LoginModel
{
    [Required]
    [EmailAddress]
    [Display(Name = "UserName", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Language))]
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [Display(Name = "Password", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Language))]
    public string Password { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "RememberMe", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Language))]
    public bool RememberMe { get; set; }
}

public class RegisterModel
{
    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "User name")]
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]
    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [Display(Name = "Password")]
    public string Password { get; set; }

    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [Display(Name = "Confirm password")]
    [Compare("Password", ErrorMessage = "The password and confirmation password do not match.")]
    public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }
}

public class ExternalLogin
{
    public string Provider { get; set; }
    public string ProviderDisplayName { get; set; }
    public string ProviderUserId { get; set; }
}

Once you've done this, you'll need a Controller to coordinate your login actions. I'll put an example from me, changed from an example from Microsoft.

Note that the Filter we implemented above is initialized here ( InitializeSimpleMembership ).

    // [Authorize]

        {
            ViewBag.ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
            return View();
        }

        //
        // POST: /Account/Login

        [HttpPost]
        [AllowAnonymous]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model, string returnUrl)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid && WebSecurity.Login(model.UserName, model.Password, persistCookie: model.RememberMe))
            {
                return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
            }

            // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
            ModelState.AddModelError("", "The user name or password provided is incorrect.");
            return View(model);

Now just implement Views . Mine have Bootstrap:

Views / Account / Login.cshtml

@model SeuProjeto.Models.LoginModel
@using SeuProjeto.Resources

@{
    ViewBag.Title = Language.Login;
}

<hgroup class="title">
    <h1>@ViewBag.Title.</h1>
</hgroup>

<section id="loginForm">
<h2>@Language.Login</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Account", new { ReturnUrl = ViewBag.ReturnUrl }, 
    FormMethod.Post, new { @style = "max-width: 330px; padding: 15px; margin: 0 auto;" }))
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

    <fieldset>
        <legend>@Language.LoginForm</legend>
        <ol>
            <li>
                @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName, new { @class = "form-control", @placeholder = Language.UserName })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.UserName)
            </li>
            <li>
                @Html.PasswordFor(m => m.Password, new { @class = "form-control", @placeholder = Language.Password })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Password)
            </li>
            <li>
                @Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @class = "form-control" })
                @Html.LabelFor(m => m.RememberMe, new { @class = "checkbox" })
            </li>
        </ol>
        <input type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" value="@Language.Login" />
    </fieldset>
    <p>
        @Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register") @Language.IfYouDontHaveAnAccount.
    </p>
}
</section>

@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}

Views / Account / Register.cshtml

@using SeuProjeto.Resources

@model SeuProjeto.Models.RegisterModel
@{
    ViewBag.Title = Language.Register;
}

<hgroup class="title">
    <h1>@ViewBag.Title.</h1>
    <h2>@Language.CreateANewAccount.</h2>
</hgroup>

@using (Html.BeginForm("Register", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { @style = "max-width: 330px; padding: 15px; margin: 0 auto;" }))
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @Html.ValidationSummary()

    <fieldset>
        <legend>@Language.RegistrationForm</legend>
        <ol>
            <li>
                @Html.LabelFor(m => m.UserName)
                @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName, new { @class = "form-control", @placeholder = Language.UserName })
            </li>
            <li>
                @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Password)
                @Html.PasswordFor(m => m.Password, new { @class = "form-control", @placeholder = Language.Password })
            </li>
            <li>
                @Html.LabelFor(m => m.ConfirmPassword)
                @Html.PasswordFor(m => m.ConfirmPassword, new { @class = "form-control", @placeholder = Language.ConfirmPassword })
            </li>
        </ol>
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block">@Language.Register</button> 
    </fieldset>
}

@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}

By the way, how do I use membership?

There are several ways. This is the simplest (I know ... it's not simple), but implementing this code I think aspects should become clearer.
