+ServiceStack's new [Blazor](/posts/net8-blazor-template) project template takes advantage of .NET 8 Blazor's new features
+that redefines modern Web Development in C# which sees our new templates adopting Blazor's
+familiar **ASP.NET Core Identity** and **Entity Framework** for its authentication, utilizes the modern
+[Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com) framework for beautiful responsive design and adopts .NET's best-practice

+Blazor Web Apps where all its dynamic functionally uses Vue.js to progressively enhance its static rendered content -

+
+A significant change we've added to our new .NET 8 Project Templates is the adoption of the same ASP.NET Core 
+Identity Authentication that's configured in Microsoft's default Projects templates.
+
+ASP.NET Core Identity Auth now used in new Integrated Auth projects Going forward all new ServiceStack .NET Project Templates 
+will adopt ASP.NET Identity Auth, which closely follows the same approach as the Microsoft Project Template it integrates 
+ServiceStack with, e.g. the new .NET 8 Blazor and Blazor Vue project templates adopts the exact same Auth configuration 
+as Microsoft's default Blazor Project Template configured with Individual Identity Auth, likewise with the Bootstrap 
+and Tailwind styled MVC and Razor Pages templates.
+
+#### ASP.NET Core Identity Auth Migration Guide
+
+Migrating from ServiceStack Auth to Identity Auth should be relatively straight-forward as ServiceStack uses a compatible 
+Identity v2 password hashing format, which should let you migrate your users to Identity Auth without them noticing.
+
+To help with any migrations we've published an [Identity Auth Migration Guide](https://docs.servicestack.net/auth/migrate-to-identity-auth) 
+we've used to convert existing ServiceStack Auth Apps to use Identity Auth.
