Instance Public methods
has_secure_password(attribute = :password, validations: true) Link
Adds methods to set and authenticate against a BCrypt password. This mechanism requires you to have a XXX_digest
attribute. Where XXX
is the attribute name of your desired password.
The following validations are added automatically:
-
Password must be present on creation
-
Password length should be less than or equal to 72 bytes
-
Confirmation of password (using a
XXX_confirmation
attribute)
If confirmation validation is not needed, simply leave out the value for XXX_confirmation
(i.e. don't provide a form field for it). When this attribute has a nil
value, the validation will not be triggered.
For further customizability, it is possible to suppress the default validations by passing validations: false
as an argument.
Add bcrypt (~> 3.1.7) to Gemfile to use has_secure_password
:
gem 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1.7'
Example using Active Record (which automatically includes ActiveModel::SecurePassword
):
# Schema: User(name:string, password_digest:string, recovery_password_digest:string)
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_secure_password
has_secure_password :recovery_password, validations: false
end
user = User.new(name: 'david', password: '', password_confirmation: 'nomatch')
user.save # => false, password required
user.password = 'mUc3m00RsqyRe'
user.save # => false, confirmation doesn't match
user.password_confirmation = 'mUc3m00RsqyRe'
user.save # => true
user.recovery_password = "42password"
user.recovery_password_digest # => "$2a$04$iOfhwahFymCs5weB3BNH/uXkTG65HR.qpW.bNhEjFP3ftli3o5DQC"
user.save # => true
user.authenticate('notright') # => false
user.authenticate('mUc3m00RsqyRe') # => user
user.authenticate_recovery_password('42password') # => user
User.find_by(name: 'david')&.authenticate('notright') # => false
User.find_by(name: 'david')&.authenticate('mUc3m00RsqyRe') # => user
