Method: Authlogic::ActsAsAuthentic::Password::Config#check_passwords_against_database

Defined in:
lib/authlogic/acts_as_authentic/password.rb

#check_passwords_against_database(value = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: check_passwords_against_database=

When calling valid_password?(“some pass”) do you want to check that password against what’s in that object or whats in the database. Take this example:

u = User.first
u.password = "new pass"
u.valid_password?("old pass")

Should the last line above return true or false? The record hasn’t been saved yet, so most would assume true. Other would assume false. So I let you decide by giving you this option.

  • Default: true

  • Accepts: Boolean
