Perhaps I don't get what you say right but it still looks like exactly what I describe before. :-)
If you have save the password it WILL NOT be hashed automatically, no matter if you use scaffolding or not. You must do it in code yourself. If you see the plain text password appearing in the database then that's the deal. In contrast when you use the login method the entered password is AUTOMATICALLY hashed and checked against the database (which has it stored as plain text so they won't match). The fastest route is to copy-paste the hashed password value appearing in the debug output in your database. That will let you test this and then you need to implement the hash before save code in the docs. PS. Capital is for emphasis not for SHOUTING!
