Class BlowfishAuthenticate
An authentication adapter for AuthComponent. Provides the ability to authenticate using POST data using Blowfish hashing. Can be used by configuring AuthComponent to use it via the AuthComponent::$authenticate setting.
{{{ $this->Auth->authenticate = array( 'Blowfish' => array( 'scope' => array('User.active' => 1) ) ) }}}
When configuring BlowfishAuthenticate you can pass in settings to which fields, model and additional conditions are used. See FormAuthenticate::$settings for more information.
For initial password hashing/creation see Security::hash(). Other than how the password is initially hashed, BlowfishAuthenticate works exactly the same way as FormAuthenticate.
