How to fix a bug in default login route at identity 2

Question

I create my first project using asp net core. I installed Identity 2 for authentication in my project. As you know in identity 2 use Razor pages and all of the identities pages move to an area called Identity.

I mean the route to access to the login page on MVC and entity framework was "/Account/Login" but in asp net core is /Identity/Account/Login.

I created a new controller called MenusController and I added [Authorize] attribute to the class. But when I am not signed in and I try to call the MenusController Identity 2 Automatically called the "/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2FAdmin%2FMenus" and as you know the identity moved to the area "Identity" my website shows 404 pages not found an error.

I searched the entire solution to find how can I change the "/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2FAdmin%2FMenus" to Identity/Account/Login but I cant find it.

Do you know how can I change the default route for login in identity 2?

Move services.ConfigureApplicationCookie after services.AddIdentity and most important remove AddDefaultUI in services. Reference here

Here is the code to change the default Login page:

            services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
            {
                options.LoginPath = "/Identity/Account/Login";
            });
