Assuming that User is your model, you would use $this->User->validates().
Mariano gave a good example in his response:
if ($this->User->set($this->data) && $this->User->validates()) {
// Perform your thing to check user / password
}
You could also do the reverse:
if (!$this->User->validates()) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Please enter a valid username and
password')
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'login'), null, true);
}

If that's the case, how would I handle errors in a login form?
