Re: Protecting access to field, does exist?

why would you want to protect your application from yourself?
you are (that's my guess anyway) the developer of the app.
therefore there is no need to protect the app from you or itself.

you shouldn't be concerned about what the models or controllers can
fetch but
on what is presented to the user - and where.
As long as you only output username and email etc for example it
doesn't matter
if password and other confidential information is also retrieved on
find().
