  <p>It isn't coming anytime soon.</p>
  
  <p>With a .NET backend and a .NET application how do you implement custom authentication, so that you don't have to use Facebook, Google or any of their other current providers?</p>
  
  <p>There are plenty of partially completed tutorials on how this this is done with a JS backend and iOS and Android but where are the .NET examples?</p>
