Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.UserManager` while attempting to activate 'AuthController'

I'm getting this error in Login Controller.

InvalidOperationException: Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.UserManager`1[Automobile.Models.Account]' while attempting to activate 'Automobile.Server.Controllers.AuthController'.

here is Auth Controller constructor:

private SignInManager<Automobile.Models.Account> _signManager;
    private UserManager<Automobile.Models.Account> _userManager;

    public AuthController(UserManager<Models.Account> userManager,
                          SignInManager<Automobile.Models.Account> signManager)
    {
        this._userManager = userManager;
        this._signManager = signManager;
    }

and here is ConfigureServices in startup.cs:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        // Add framework services.
        services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(Configuration);
        services.Configure<AppConfig>(Configuration.GetSection("AppSettings"));

        //var provider = HttpContext.ApplicationServices;
        //var someService = provider.GetService(typeof(ISomeService));


        services.AddDbContext<Providers.Database.EFProvider.DataContext>(options => options
            .UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"),
                 b => b.MigrationsAssembly("Automobile.Server")
            ));


        services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>(options =>
        {
            options.User.RequireUniqueEmail = false;
        })
        .AddEntityFrameworkStores<Providers.Database.EFProvider.DataContext>()
        .AddDefaultTokenProviders(); 
        //services.AddScoped<SignInManager<Automobile.Models.Account>, SignInManager<Automobile.Models.Account>>();
        //services.AddScoped<UserManager<Automobile.Models.Account>, UserManager<Automobile.Models.Account>>();

        services.AddMvc();
        App.Service = services.BuildServiceProvider();

        // Adds a default in-memory implementation of IDistributedCache.
        services.AddDistributedMemoryCache();

        services.AddSession(options =>
        {
            // Set a short timeout for easy testing.
            options.IdleTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
            options.CookieHttpOnly = true;
        });

    }

You need to use the same user data model in SignInManager, UserManager and services.AddIdentity. Same principal is true if you are using your own custom application role model class.

So, change

services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>(options =>
    {
        options.User.RequireUniqueEmail = false;
    })
    .AddEntityFrameworkStores<Providers.Database.EFProvider.DataContext>()
    .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

to

services.AddIdentity<Automobile.Models.Account, IdentityRole>(options =>
    {
        options.User.RequireUniqueEmail = false;
    })
    .AddEntityFrameworkStores<Providers.Database.EFProvider.DataContext>()
    .AddDefaultTokenProviders();
