If you're using the Auth Component you will need to have a password confirm field to achieve what you wanted through model validation.
This is because the value is hashed before you can run validation checks on it, for example if you check that "password" is between 6 and 16 characters, you'll be checking against maybe a 40 character hash. password_confirm however isn't hashed. The only way to validate password with the Auth Component without password_confirm seems to be in the beforeFilter of your controller, but this isn't really the MVC way to do it. Someone may correct me on this however Kind Regards Stephen On 22 December 2010 04:01, John Maxim <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Stephen! > > This is solved.
