I came across this, the way I solved it : - I use another field name than password in the form (ie: mypass), in my controller is this field is not blank I generate (before save): $this->data['User']['password'] = $this->Auth->password($this- >data['User']['mypass'])
- in a second project I wanted to "confirm" the new password (if changed), I just use a check box labeled as "reset password" and another field 'confirmpass". I use the same approach as above but the condition being the check box checked or not Hope this helps On Nov 12, 12:23 pm, Mike Digital Egg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am using the Auth Component for 1.2 which is working great but I > have just come across a problem which I can't work out. > > I have a user management system which is basically just a form > containing the user details, these details will need to be editable. > All good so far, the problem I am having is that if I want to leave > the password unchanged (by leaving the password field blank)and just > change the username for example the Auth component overwrites the > existing password with a hash of "".
