Why MVC 5 Owin Oauth is not hitting /Account/ExternalLoginCallback action

Question

I am new to MVC 5 authentication. Currently I tried Google Authorization using Owin The code in startup.Auth.cs

var googleOAuth2Authenticati

This is similar to: Google Authentication using OWIN Oauth in MVC5 not hitting ExternalLoginCallback function

Basically, set your google App in the Developers dashboard to point to your */ExternalLoginCallback method.

Leave the GoogleProvider with the default callback path.

var googleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions = new GoogleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions
    {
        ClientId = "MYCLIENTID",
        ClientSecret = "MYSECRET"
    };

Add a route to handle signin-google in RouteConfig:

routes.MapRoute(
            name: "signin-google",
            url: "signin-google",
            defaults: new { controller = "[YOURCONTROLLLER]", action = "ExternalLoginCallback"});

That should fix google provider and all the others too.
