Here is another somewhat way to do it.
Your real password field is called: passwd
In your form, place a field called: new_password
Now call these lines in your controller:
$this->data['User']['new_password_hash'] = $this->Auth-
>password( $this->data['User']['new_password']);
$this->User->save( $this->data );
Now in your User model put this in your beforeSave()
$this->data['User']['passwd'] = $this->data['User']
['new_password_hash'];
Make your validation rules applicable to the field 'new_password'
field, a value that will never be hashed. If those validation rules
pass, then pass on that hashed version of new_password which is stored
in new_password_hash.
