UserManager.CreateAsync is not adding user to the database

Question

I have this seeder class which is called at the end of the Startup.cs file in the Configure method:

public class UserSeeder
{
    private readonly ApplicationDbContext _context;
    private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;
    public UserSeeder(ApplicationDbContext context, UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager)
    {
        _context = context;
        _userManager = userManager;
    }

    public async Task Seed()
    {
        if (!await _context.Users.AnyAsync())
        {
            var user = new ApplicationUser()
            {
                UserName = "admin",
                Email = "[email protected]"
            };
            await _userManager.CreateAsync(user, "passwort4admin");
        }
    }
}

The code is executed and I even put a try/catch around the method call but no error happens AND no user is inserted into the database!

Why not?

The problem is the complexity of the password. Add capital and numbers and symbols the issue will solve
