If you are using the Auth component, Auth will hash the blank
password.
The workaround I've found for this is to use a dummy password field
(e.g. new_password) instead of the real password field, then in your
controller::save() do
if (!empty($this->data) {
if (!empty($this->data['Model']['new_password']) {
$this->data['Model']['password'] = $this->Auth->password($this-
>data['Model']['new_password'];
}
if ($this->Model->save($this->data) {
// data saved
}
else {
// there was an error in the form submission
}
}
