             }      } 

the above should redirect user forgotpasswordconfirmation when entered theit email. instead sends user login following url

login?returnurl=%2faccount%2fforgotpasswordconfirmation 

i changed according duplicate post

i cannot figure out why

there issues if , when have async method redirecting synchronous method. try changing forgotpasswordconfirmation() method async:

public asycn task<actionresult> forgotpasswordconfirmation() 

also, see this: mvc4 .net 4.5 async action method not redirect
