I have an issue with the standard ASP Identity provider for MVC5. As soon as I log in the method:

await SignInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(model.Email, model.Password, model.RememberMe, shouldLockout: false);

keeps returning Failure. So I started debugging, By using:

UserManager.FindByEmail(model.Email);

This returns a valid UserID for my user trying to log in. Then I used: 

SignInManager.UserManager.CheckPassword(UserIDObtainedFromFind, model.Password);

And this returns true, which means that the password I provide is valid....

Sign In failure

Any ideas on how I can trace, of debug the SignInManager.PasswordSignInAsync method to see where it fails?

SignInManager.PasswordSignIn works off of user name, you should double check that the user name is the same as the email you are passing in.
