Hi jyrgen
My guess is that whey you are calling:
$this->Author->User->saveField('password', md5($pw1));
Cake is passing the id or Author as the id of the User record to save.
Therefore if there is no record that matches the id, a new one will be
created.
I would just go for a save() instead (meaning that you can specify the
id on the User record so Cake will know which record to update.
