userStore.FindByNameAsync and IPersonalDataProtector

Question

So I am halfway there.... ;-) I have my data protection attributes working using entity framework core 6.4 with "my application user"

services.AddScoped<IUserStore<ApplicationUser>, UserOnlyStore<ApplicationUser, UserDataContext, int>>();
services.AddScoped<ILookupProtectorKeyRing, KeyRing>();
services.AddScoped<ILookupProtector, LookupProtector>();
services.AddScoped<IPersonalDataProtector, PersonalDataProtector>();

I can create the bellow user using the

var result = await userManager.CreateAsync(user, "some pw 1234")

However when I call

 var clone= await userStore.FindByNameAsync(_email, CancellationToken.None);

it never uses the IPersonalDataProtector and it then doesn't find the user as the cypher data isn't matching the uncyphered data as shown in the sql trace...

What configuration am I missing, why store encrypted if it, doesn't query the data using a compatible method?
