I should have searched more before posting question here.

Apparently I need to wire up UserTokenProvider with a DataProtectorTokenProvider.

However I do not understand what's a DataProtector for, would be glad if someone can explain here.

var dataProtectionProvider = options.DataProtectionProvider;
if (dataProtectionProvider != null)
{
    manager.UserTokenProvider = new DataProtectorTokenProvider(dataProtectionProvider.Create("ASP.NET Identity"));
}
