Add the following callback method to your users controller: <pre lang="PHP">function _beforeScaffold($action) { if (($action == 'edit' || $action == 'add') && isset($this->data)) { $this->data['User']['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data['User']['password']); } return TRUE; }</pre> The above function is called every time a scaffolded action is executed. The password hashing will only be performed if the add or edit actions are <code>POST</code>ed. If you’re using a version of CakePHP prior to 1.2.1.8004 you’ll also need the following instructions:

Set up your users controller so that it will hash passwords (this will not be done automatically like it would if you were not using scaffolding). Add the following callback method to your users controller:

function _beforeScaffold($action) {
  if (($action == 'edit' || $action == 'add') && isset($this->data)) {
    $this->data['User']['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data['User']['password']);
  }
  return TRUE;
}

The above function is called every time a scaffolded action is executed. The password hashing will only be performed if the add or edit actions are POSTed.
