Just had to remove this using:

using System.Web.Http;

Because that namespace is for WebAPI, whereas System.Web.Mvc is for MVC Controllers. Using both namespaces in the same file may cause confusions for Authorize and AllowAnonymous, for example.

On the top of the page, use namespace like:

using System.Web.Mvc;

Just fully qualify the name

[System.Web.Mvc.AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult SomeAction()
{ ...
