Can't find: BlowfishPasswordHasher Cakephp - php

Question

I just downloaded CakePHP and was following the tutorials to get the basics. Everything was going ok, until I started with this Authentication system.
If you go to the following url, and to the password hashing block ( of code ).
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog-auth-example/auth.html#authentication-login-and-logout
you will see:
public function beforeSave($options = array()) {
if (isset($this->data[$this->alias]['password'])) {
$passwordHasher = new BlowfishPasswordHasher();
$this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = $passwordHasher->hash(
$this->data[$this->alias]['password']
);
}
return true;
}
The issue is when I run this, is that I get a Fatal Error on that Line:
Fatal error: Class 'BlowfishPasswordHasher' not found in /Users/myUser/Sites/cake/app/Model/User.php on line 29
This is the line (to be precise):
$passwordHasher = new BlowfishPasswordHasher();
Why isn't it seeing that file ?
In my PHPStorm IDE, when I alt+click on it, it goes to the correct file located in:
/Users/myUser/Sites/cake/lib/Cake/Controller/Component/Auth/BlowfishPasswordHasher.php
Anyone else having issues with this ?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Put following line in your User Model
App::uses('BlowfishPasswordHasher', 'Controller/Component/Auth');
class User extends AppModel {
....
}
Note : The BlowfishPasswordHasher uses a stronger hashing algorithm (bcrypt) than SimplePasswordHasher (sha1) and provides per user salts. The SimplePasswordHasher will be removed as of CakePHP version 3.0
