Blowfish password hashing in 2.4.0-RC2 issues

Hi all, I'm new here and in the process of building my first CakePHP app, using a recently upgraded 2.3.5 > 2.4.0-RC2.

I've managed to get the new BlowfishPasswordHasher working with my User model beforeSave() function, and can verify in the database that users are created with a blowfish hash in the password field. My issue is that the User model's login function is failing when trying to log in with the correct credentials.

Here is my $components variable from AppController:

  public $components = array(
                             'Session',
                             'Security',
                             'Cookie',
                             'DebugKit.Toolbar',
                             'Auth' => array(
                                             'loginAction' => array(
                                                                    'controller' => 'users',
                                                                    'action' => 'login'
                                                                    ),
                                             'authError' => 'You must be logged in to view this page',
                                             'loginError' => 'Invalid username/password combination',
                                             'authenticate' => array(
                                                                     'Form' => array(
                                                                                     'userModel' => 'User',
                                                                                     'passwordHasher' => 'Blowfish',
                                                                                     ),
                                                                     ),
                                             'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'DevelopmentPages', 'action' => 'index'),
                                             'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'),
                                             ),
                             ); 

This is my beforeSave from the User model:

  public function beforeSave($options = array()) {

    if(isset($this->data[$this->alias]['password'])) {
      $passwordHasher = new BlowfishPasswordHasher();
      $this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = $passwordHasher->hash($this->data[$this->alias]['password']);
    }
    return true;

 

  }

Is there something obvious that I am missing? Any pointers appreciated :)
