Login fails after changing password ASP.NET Core

Question
I'm using ASP.NET Core 1.0 and the identity stuff to authenticate and authorize the users. It all works fine except one single thing:
If the user resets or changes his password, he can't sign-in with the new credentials until the ASP.NET App is restarted. Means the new passwords are successfully saved in the database, but the Method _signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync() doesn't use the current data, but old one. It seems there is something like a cache in the EF Core or in the SignInManager/UserStore.
Sign-in after registration works also fine, it is just a problem after reset or change of the passwords.

I too discovered a problem with my authentication middleware using a stale DbContext.
One solution was to refresh the user in the auth middleware's identity resolver with the following line of code:
await _dbContext.Entry(userToVerify).ReloadAsync();
Following this, I was able to verify the user's credentials against up-to-date data.
