Can we use Asp.Net Membership and Role Provider in MVC 5

I'm converting a MVC 3 application to MVC 5. I've been reading on web that MVC 5 comes with Asp.Net Identity for security. My question is that is possible, feasible and good to use old membership and role provider in MVC 5 application. Can anyone give any useful link where I can learn conversion from membership and role provider to Identity.

You don't have to migrate Membership provider to Identity if you don't want to. MVC5 will happily work with Membership provider. I have migrated MVC3 with Membership provider to MVC5 and had no problems with users.

Recently I have migrated from Membership to Identity and also had no major problem migrating - just followed the instructions in the link already provided.

https://aspnet.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#Samples/Identity/ contains samples to convert apps from older memberships to Identity. These might be helpful. Also look at http://www.asp.net/identity/overview/migrations for more information on migrating apps
