If I just use $this->Auth->login() the login fails. I think it's because I'm using only a passcode to log users in rather than a username/password combo. The login form only has a passcode field, no username is involved in the authentication process. I'm not sure how to get the Auth->login() method to work without passing it my form data. However if I do a $this->User->findby...() to load the user from the DB 1st, then pass that user data to the login() method it works.
Geoff, good idea about unsetting the important stuff like the passcode. I'll implement this right away. You're right all I really need is the user ID, as I can make any calls I need from there using the id.
