Setup Auth configuration in controller:

	$this->Auth->authorize = array(
'BcryptAuthenticate.Bcrypt',
);

For validation in model if needed:

	App::uses('BcryptAuthenticate', 'BcryptAuthenticate.Controller/Component/Auth');
class User extends AppModel {
…
protected function _checkPassword($password, $hash) {
return BcryptAuthenticate::checkPassword($password, $hash);
}
protected function _hashPassword($password) {
return BcryptAuthenticate::hash($password);
}
}

Don't forget to activate the plugin in your bootstrap.php if necessary.
