Hi,
Is there any work-around for not to ask users for resetting their passwords.

The hashing algorithms used in membership can be, frankly, very old, and not considered safe. We don't implement some of them in ASP.NET Identity, so there's no way to migrate over, so password resets are safer for the users.

Sadly no, @blowdart can explain more, but it has to do with the password hashing being completely different between the frameworks.

@Raghumu if you don't want to ask users for resetting their passwords, but want to gradually update password hashes to the new algorithm as they authenticate, I posted what I did in this Stack Overflow question.

However If you can ask for password resetting, that's better.
