For all the reasons above and easy transitions from password hashing schemes: My current hashing method on passwords is not the best possible solution so I can write an 'InitialCryptoProvider' to hash and match my old passwords and write a single line in my User class to smoothly transition from one hashing scheme to another without stressing my users. acts_as_authentic :transition_from_crypto_provider => Zena::BetaCryptoProvider, :crypto_provider => Authlogic::CryptoProviders::BCrypt And authlogic makes it easy to support new authentications (ldap, openid, etc).
