Answer 1

You can use an implementation of ExtendedMembershipProvider. For ex: the built-in SimpleMembershipProvider.

Every ExtendedMembershipProvider IS A MembershipProvider .

Answer 2

Could possibly be related to the same issue as me MVC4 ExtendedMembershipProvider and entityframework .. I removed the universal providers nuget package and this particular error dissappeared.

Also this "very recent" article by Jon Galloway may help.

Answer 3

If you are using Visual Studio, you might want to save yourself all this effort. The MVC 4 Internet template comes with four external identity providers out of the box. I have tested them and Google Accounts, Microsoft account, Facebook login, and Twitter login all work fine, with zero lines of code!

I think the same is provided with the Web Form template too.
