Title Body

I have a user model set up as such: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_secure_password # callbacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- before_create { generate_token(:auth_token) } # setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model and validation ---------- attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation # validations VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i validates :email , presence: true, uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }, format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX } validates :password , length: { minimum: 6 } validates :password_confirmation, presence: true But I don't want the password and/or password_confirmation validations to run when updating the user unless the user is attempting to change their password. So, if the user updates their information in a form without specifying a password and/or confirmation it should succeed. If the user updates their information and includes a password and/or confirmation the validations should run. What is the best way to accomplish this?
