# Articles based on ASP.NET Core projects created with individual user accounts

ASP.NET Core Identity is included in project templates in Visual Studio with the "Individual User Accounts" option.

The authentication templates are available in .NET Core CLI with `-au Individual`:

::: moniker range=">= aspnetcore-2.1"

```console
dotnet new mvc -au Individual
dotnet new webapi -au Individual
dotnet new webapp -au Individual
```

[!INCLUDE[](~/includes/webapp-alias-notice.md)]

::: moniker-end

::: moniker range="= aspnetcore-2.0"

```console
dotnet new mvc -au Individual
dotnet new webapi -au Individual
dotnet new razor -au Individual
```

::: moniker-end
