I found this thread while searching for how to validate a string as a user's password in the controller, and was disappointed when I didn't find the answer.
I figured it out so I figured I'd post the answer for other people that do the same thing. The User model get's a method valid_password? with :acts_as_authentic. So to test the password you would just do: @current_user.valid_password? params[:old_password] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
