title: Hashing a password
body: <p>I have built a login form but not a sign up form so i am putting the users details directly into the sql database.<br>
  I have found out that cakephp automatically hashes the password when the user tries to login, but at the moment I cant login because the password in the database is not hashed.<br>
  how does cakephp hash the passwords?</p>
  
  <p>My security salt is <code>Dhhfei38fhDg37dg6Dg208Dh3h380Hrjd3</code></p>
  
  <p>Could you please walk me through what it does?</p>
