Can you make the password optional?
Reported by James | January 4th, 2010 @ 07:58 AM
I'm working on a system where the user can create an account directly with us or use twitter or facebook for logins.
So sometimes the user has a password, sometimes they don't.
If you use Authentication::ByPassword, password is always required.
Is there a way round this, a config option or something that can be used? From my reading of the source code I think there isn't .... ?
(Will probably add a patch to this ticket shortly)

So I just changed
def password_required?
!password.blank? end</code>
in Authentication::ByPassword
I guess this is more of a discussion ticket about how things should work; I couldn't see a newsgroup or more appropriate place, sorry.
