Hi and thanks again for the help.  I've got it figured out, does
anyone see any potential problems with this approach?

public function login() {
    if ($this -> request -> is('post')) {

      $user = $this -> User -> findByPasscode($this -> request ->
data["User"]["passcode"]);  // READ THE USER FROM DB

      if ($this -> Auth -> login($user)) {  // LOG IN USING THE $USER
VAR PULLED FROM THE DB
        $this -> Session -> setFlash('login successful.');
        debug($this->Auth->user()); // NOW HAS ALL THE USER DATA
INSTEAD OF JUST THE PASSCODE
        return $this -> redirect($this -> Auth -> redirect());
      } else {
        $this -> Session -> setFlash(__('Passcode not found.'),
'default', array(), 'auth');
      }
    }
  }
