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

C#

var googleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions = new GoogleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions
{
    ClientId = "Client-id",
    ClientSecret = "secret-key",
    CallbackPath = new PathString("/Account/ExternalLoginCallback"),
    Provider = new GoogleOAuth2AuthenticationProvider()
    {
        OnAuthenticated = async context =>
        {
            context.Identity.AddClaim(new Claim("picture", context.User.GetValue("picture").ToString()));
            context.Identity.AddClaim(new Claim("profile", context.User.GetValue("profile").ToString()));
        }
    }
};
googleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions.Scope.Add("email");

app.UseGoogleAuthentication(googleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions);

But it does not hit ExternalLoginCallback Action.

C#

// GET: /Account/ExternalLoginCallback
       [AllowAnonymous]
       public async Task<ActionResult> ExternalLoginCallback(string returnUrl)

It stop at https://localhost:44307/Account/ExternalLoginCallback?ReturnUrl=%2F with blank white screen.

is there missing something?

Try adding following tag in webconfig AppSetting,

 <appSettings>
       <add key="owin:AutomaticAppStartup" value="false" />
</appSettings>
