Suggestion: Warn users that LiveUsers (used for password hashing) is not a standard library #2

The Auth beforeFilter() example you give uses LiveUser::hashPasswords() to hash password. However, most users would use the built-in hashPasswords function of the Auth component ($this->Auth->hashPasswords($data)).

It took me a couple of hours to figure out why Authentication wasn't working ;-). Anyway, thank you very much for the great plug-in!

Alright. My reasoning was I wanted to show that that's the place for custom authentication code. But I can see how that's confusing. Thanks, fixed!
