Answer 1

Models having has_secure_password store password in password_digest column instead of password column. In fact password column is not needed.

> u=User.create!(email: '[email protected]', password: '12345678')
> u
#<User:0x007fc794be9278> {
                  :id => 1,
:email => "[email protected]",
     :password_digest => "$2a$10$S82GVFR..yO9jihgIoeMj.7dNMWtbCUZpWDKvH0tyMs1SYlfdefmW"
}

You may have forgotten to make sure your migration backing the user model has a column for password_digest. Make sure the column exists and that it's a string. If it doesn't, create a migration to add the column.
