    <p>CakePHP 2.4</p> <p>While adding a new user I must hash passwords before storing it in the Database. To do so I did:</p> <pre><code>//UsersController public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form'); public $components = array( 'Session', 'Auth' =&gt; array( 'loginRedirect' =&gt; array('controller' =&gt; 'users', 'action' =&gt; 'home', 'home'), 'logoutRedirect' =&gt; array('controller' =&gt; 'users', 'action' =&gt; 'logout') ) ); public function add(){ if($this-&gt;request-&gt;is('post')){ $this-&gt;User-&gt;create(); if($this-&gt;User-&gt;save($this-&gt;request-&gt;data)){ $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash('Saved!'); } } } //UserModel public function beforeSave(){ if(isset($this-&gt;data[$this-&gt;alias]['password'])) $this-&gt;data[$this-&gt;alias]['password'] = md5($this-&gt;data[$this-&gt;alias]['password']); return true; } //add.ctp echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;create(); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('text', array('label'=&gt;'Username', 'name'=&gt;'username')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('text', array('label'=&gt;'Full name', 'name'=&gt;'fullname')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('password', array('label'=&gt;'Password', 'name'=&gt;'password')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('text', array('label'=&gt;'Password hint', 'name'=&gt;'pass_hint')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('text', array('label'=&gt;'Email', 'name'=&gt;'email')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('text', array('label'=&gt;'Contact', 'name'=&gt;'cell')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;end('Create account'); </code></pre> <p>But the thing is passwords are being stored without being hashed!</p> <p>Thanks in advance...</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> Changed view code to</p> <pre><code>echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;create('User'); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('username', array('label'=&gt;'Username')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('fullname', array('label'=&gt;'Full name')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('pwd', array('label'=&gt;'Password', 'type'=&gt;'password')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('pass_hint', array('label'=&gt;'Password hint')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('email', array('label'=&gt;'Email')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('cell', array('label'=&gt;'Contact')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;end('Create account'); </code></pre>

    1. COYou are not encrypting it, you are hashing it. That's a difference :) Tip: See http://www.dereuromark.de/2011/08/25/working-with-passwords-in-cakephp/

    2. COGood article. But this time table gets nothing in the password filed. beforeSave() is `if (!empty($this->data[$this->alias]['pwd'])) { $this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data[$this->alias]['pwd']); }`

    3. COAnd why using md5? You should at least use sha1 - maybe better even one of the new standards like blowfish. You need to name your field pwd as well, if you want to do it that way (you can't/shouldn't still name it password then). If you can't get it to work, use my behavior for a clean and more secure approach.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
