It looks like it's because the Auth component only hashes passwords if
the fields are 'username' and 'password' AND the table name is Users.
I had changed the fields in my app_controller $this->Auth->fields
=array('username'=>'email','password'=>'password'); but hadn't changed
the table name.I couldn't change the table name because I wasn't sure how to change it on the fly depending on whether it was the RegUser or LoginUser model I was using. So I had instead to manually hash the password and the password confirm. Can anyone tell me if I'll run into issues later on because of this. Should I be just letting the Auth component do it's work? Will me hashing the passwords manually cause something else in the auth component not to work?
