Re: How to validate and update password of a user with affecting HABTM relations for the user?

if you have the auth component added, then password field will be
hashed automatically, the hashing happens before validation and thus
your validation rules, except for your password compare, will never
work.

check that out should show you what to do to fix that.

For using validation from controller you must set it to the model
first
