ASP.NET Core MVC wrong link is generated-CodePudding

I have a controller with this code. I want all actions to be /Action/Controller or /{culture}/Action/Controller except for Login which should be /Login or /{culture}/Login. Route works fine but Link is generated always as /Accounts/Login or /{culture}/Accounts/Login...

[Route("[controller]/[action]")]
[Route("/[controller]/[action]")]
public class AccountsController : Controller
{
    [Route("/Login", Order = 0)]
    [Route("/{culture}/Login", Order = 1)]
    public IActionResult Login(short? showLostPasswordInfo)
    {
        return View(model);
    }
}

Link looks like this

<a asp-action="Login">...</a> //outputs /Accounts/Login

I want it to point to /Login but it keeps generating wrong link.

Configuration in Startup.cs looks like this

app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
     endpoints.MapHealthChecks("/health");
     endpoints.MapControllers();
     app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
     {
          endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
          name: "default",
          pattern: "{controller}/{action}");
          endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
          name: "cultureDefault",
          pattern: "{culture:culture}/{controller}/{action}");
     });
});

[Route("[controller]/[action]")]
[Route("/[controller]/[action]")]

Beacuse you put the [controller] in front of the [action],so the link as /controller/action

You can try to change the code that in front of the controller as below. To show other works well, I add index() .

        [Route("[action]/[controller]")]
        
        public class AccountsController : Controller
        {
            
            [Route("/Login", Order = 0)]
            [Route("/{culture}/Login", Order = 1)]
    
            public IActionResult Login(short? showLostPasswordInfo)
            {
                return View();
            }
            public IActionResult Index()
            {
                return View();
            }
             ....
         }

To see the result clearly, I add something in _layout.cshtml as below.

 
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link text-dark" asp-area="" asp-controller="Accounts" asp-action="Login">Login</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link text-dark" asp-area="" asp-controller="Accounts" asp-action="Index">Index2</a>
</li>

result:

I found solution. There was another Login method in AccountsController for HttpPost which didn't have any Route attribute. Adding same attributes to second method solved the problem.
