Re: Different Validation Rule for Different Purpose？

I hope this answers your question:

The validation is for the model (the database table) and not the
form. The error messages appear on the form which may make you think
the validation rules are validating the data in the form... but it
isn't. The validation rules check the data before an insert or update
to the table.

Therefore, you only need the one rule to check the first/last/user
names and the password. When someone logs in you do a model->find()
which doesn't go through the validation rules.
