Answer 1

protected override void Seed(ApplicationDbContext context)
{
  SeedAsync(context).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}

private async Task SeedAsync(ApplicationDbContext context)
{
  var userManager = new ApplicationUserManager(new UserStore(context));
  var roleManager = new ApplicationRoleManager(new RoleStore(context));

  if (!roleManager.Roles.Any())
  {
    await roleManager.CreateAsync(new ApplicationRole { Name = ApplicationRole.AdminRoleName });
    await roleManager.CreateAsync(new ApplicationRole { Name = ApplicationRole.AffiliateRoleName });
  }

  if (!userManager.Users.Any(u => u.UserName == "shimmy"))
  {
    var user = new ApplicationUser
    {
      UserName = "shimmy",
      Email = "shimmy@gmail.com",
      EmailConfirmed = true,
      PhoneNumber = "0123456789",
      PhoneNumberConfirmed = true
    };

    await userManager.CreateAsync(user, "****");
    await userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user.Id, ApplicationRole.AdminRoleName);
  }
}
