Re: two questions about Auth component

I know for the first issue you must set the post data to null so that
it doesn't post back that data to the user. Or maybe just set the
password as null.

for the second issue, I'm just thinking an idea nothing I've tried out
and I'd actually want to see a better answer but, maybe you could set
a hidden field to check if it's post again,unless there is an
unknown,to me, isPostBack property or similar function in PHP like in
ASP.NET, and then force redirect to else where.
