This is my login MVC code I just call api login here.I want to display Login Username after login Home Page

[AllowAnonymous]

        //[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        [HttpPost]
        public async Task Login(Login model, string returnUrl)
        {
            /*This will depend totally on how you will get access to the identity provider and get your token, this is just a sample of how it would be done*/
            /*Get Access Token Start*/
            HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
            httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://localhost:44327/Token");
            var postData = new List>();
            postData.Add(new KeyValuePair("UserName", model.UserName));
            postData.Add(new KeyValuePair("Password", model.Password));
            postData.Add(new KeyValuePair("grant_type", "password"));
            HttpContent content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(postData);


            HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsync("https://localhost:44327/Token", content);
            // response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
            string AccessToken = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
            //string AccessToken = /*Newtonsoft.Json.*/JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);
            /*Get Access Token End*/

            if (AccessToken.Length >= 100)
            {
                TempData["userid"] = "userid";
                return RedirectToAction("Home");
            }

            ModelState.AddModelError("UserName", "Email and password is not valid");
            return View(model);
        }

Accepted answer
modify your code as
if (AccessToken.Length >= 100)
           {
               Session["userName"] = model.UserName;
               return RedirectToAction("Home");
           }
Then use the session anywhere in the application (view/Layout) as
@Session["userName"]

You need to retrieve the username first from database and then keep the value in session and then bind that session value in your view page. Thanks
