Why would you add it to your model? You probably don't want to save
it, but instead compare it to the password field to make sure they are
the same. Assuming the task you have in mind is to create a new user
and you want to make sure the password was entered correctly, do the
following:

In your view (add_user.ctp), just create the input using something
like
<?php echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'add_user'))?>
.
.
<?php echo $html->input("Password") ?>
<?php echo $html->input("Confirm Password") ?>
.
.

Then in the controller action for that view (add_user), the contents
of the user input
can be compared like:
if ($this->data['User']['Password'] == $this->Auth->password($this-
>data['User']['Password Confirm'])) {
$this->User->create();
$this->User->save($this->data);
}
else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Passwords do not match', true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'add_user'));
}
I hope this helps,
Ken
