In that case, instead of unsetting each field you don't want validated, just
set validation to a new, abridged array of rules. Something like:
$this->User->validate = array(
'username' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
'password' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY
);

Subject: Re: Different Validations on 1 Table (Model) Based on the Action
What if I have 15 fields and I only want 2 of them validated. Is there
no construct available to let me validate a specific set of fields?
