def user():
if request.args(0) == 'login':
custom_auth_table.password.requires.pop(0)
return dict(form=auth())
The default password validator is CRYPT(key=settings.hmac_key,
min_length=settings.password_min_length), and the auth.login() method
automatically resets the min_length parameter to 0 during login. But if you
are using your own validators, you are responsible for changing them for
login if necessary.
