Possible to add ASP .Net Identity classes to existing project?

I have an existing ASP .Net web project (not MVC). In order to add ASP .Net Identity database tables i followed the instructions to create a user using this link http://www.asp.net/identity/overview/getting-started/adding-aspnet-identity-to-an-empty-or-existing-web-forms-project

The tables have been created but is there a way to import all the required classes into my project so i could take advantage of the ready built classes/methods across my application rather than writing my own? If yes how?

I've read a ton of articles but not sure if this possible. When creating a new project with authentication selected it does contain these classes but I dont know if i should just copy and paste those classes into my project?

Appreciate any help/advice.

Since most of what you are asking for has a combination of UI and identity framework parts, probably the easiest solution is to create a new mvc 5 site with visual studio 2013. This will create an AccountController and associated views to manage most of what you are talking about. To work this into an existing project, you can selectively include some of these files into your existing project. This at least did work for me where I was doing something similar for a VS 2012 solution.
