Rather than fighting the framework, why not use two non database
fields in your form - new_passwd and confirm_passwd. Validate these
fields if they are set in validates() - raising validation errors
($this->invalidate('new_passwd', 'error_msg')) if they don't match/
too short/weak etc. Then (again) if new_passwd and confirm_passwd
fields are not empty, set the database passwd field to your hash in
beforeSave().
