+## ASP.NET Core Identity metrics
+
+ASP.NET Core Identity observability has been improved in .NET 10 with metrics. These metrics help you monitor user management activities and authentication processes.
+
+The metrics are in the `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity` meter and include:
+
+### User management metrics
+
+* `aspnetcore.identity.user.create.duration` - Measures the duration of user creation operations
+* `aspnetcore.identity.user.update.duration` - Measures the duration of user update operations
+* `aspnetcore.identity.user.delete.duration` - Measures the duration of user deletion operations
+* `aspnetcore.identity.user.check_password_attempts` - Counts password verification attempts
+* `aspnetcore.identity.user.generated_tokens` - Counts tokens generated for users (like password reset tokens)
+* `aspnetcore.identity.user.verify_token_attempts` - Counts token verification attempts
+
+### Authentication metrics
+
+* `aspnetcore.identity.sign_in.authenticate.duration` - Measures the duration of authentication operations
+* `aspnetcore.identity.sign_in.check_password_attempts` - Counts password check attempts during sign-in
+* `aspnetcore.identity.sign_in.sign_ins` - Counts successful sign-ins
+* `aspnetcore.identity.sign_in.sign_outs` - Counts sign-outs
+* `aspnetcore.identity.sign_in.two_factor_clients_remembered` - Counts remembered two-factor clients
+* `aspnetcore.identity.sign_in.two_factor_clients_forgotten` - Counts forgotten two-factor clients
+
+These metrics can be used to:
+
+* Monitor user registration and management
+* Track authentication patterns and potential security issues
+* Measure performance of Identity operations
+* Observe two-factor authentication usage
+
+### Viewing Identity metrics
+
+You can view these metrics using `dotnet-counters` to monitor them in real-time, or export them to Prometheus and visualize them in Grafana using the techniques described earlier in this article.
+
+For example, to monitor all Identity metrics with `dotnet-counters`:
+
+```dotnetcli
+dotnet-counters monitor -n YourAppName --counters Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity
+```

 ## ASP.NET Core meters and counters
 
 See [ASP.NET Core metrics](/dotnet/core/diagnostics/built-in-metrics-aspnetcore) for a list of ASP.NET Core meters and counters.

+## ASP.NET Core Identity metrics
+
+ASP.NET Core Identity metrics provide monitoring capabilities for user management and authentication processes. These metrics help you detect unusual sign-in patterns that might indicate security threats, track the performance of identity operations, and understand how users interact with authentication features such as two-factor authentication. This observability is particularly valuable for applications with strict security requirements or those experiencing high authentication traffic. The ASP.NET Core Identity metrics were introduced in .NET 10.
