Let's say I have a user registration and I'm using the Auth component (/user/register is allowed of course).

The problem is if I need to set a minLength validation rule in the model, it doesn't work since the Auth component hashes the password therefore it's always more than my minlength password and it passes even if it's blank.

How do I fix this issue? Thanks in advance!
