With asp.net core 2.0 out now, this has changed to:
services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options => options.LoginPath = "/Account/LogIn");
More on migrating to 2.0 here. And even more information on migrating from 2.0 to 2.1.
Update for latest Asp.NET 7.0, thanks @Chekkan:
services.AddAuthentication().AddCookie(options => options.LoginPath = "/Login");
