Question

I have a Rails 3.2 app setup with Devise. Everything works great except for when I reset a password ( via the built in routes and methods ), Devise is allowing a blank password. It will validate the length and if it matches the confirmation if there is at least one character. I do have it setup where in a users account they can update their profile without entering the password, but I don’t think that has anything to do with resetting the password.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The problem was caused by what you described. However, if I let devise handle the validation or use the same code they do, the user must provide a password when updating their account even after they are logged in. To fix this, I just checked for the rest_password_token in my validation:

def password_required?
  # If resetting the password
  return true if reset_password_token.present? && reset_password_period_valid?

   # If the person already has a pass, only validate if they are updating pass
  if !encrypted_password.blank?
    password.present? || password_confirmation.present?
  end
end

*UPDATE
I just updated this to ensure the password token is not expired.
