Ruby on Rails

I found this thread while searching for how to validate a string as a
user's password in the controller, and was disappointed when I didn't
find the answer.

I figured it out so I figured I'd post the answer for other people that
do the same thing.

The User model get's a method valid_password? with :acts_as_authentic.
So to test the password you would just do:

@current_user.valid_password? params[:old_password]
