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

I tried $this->Model->validate() in the controller, but for some
reason, 'password' and 'password_confirm' are not being passed to the
Model (I tried logging them in the "beforeValidate()" callback).
Do you have some sample code where I can see how to use $this->Model-
>validate() for editing the password?

Thanks.
