I would strongly advise against using restful_authentication, precisely because it clutters up your models.

Unless you''ve got some JS in there, my best guess is that it''s coming from your Web browser, which is probably trying to "helpfully" autofill usernames and passwords. Try a different browser or a different computer, and I''ll bet you these entries won''t be there.

I installed the Authologic tutorial app http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic_example and lo and behold ... Dave and his password showed up again. That Dave guy is sure popular. So I tried both apps on IE instead of FireFox and ... no Dave. Goes to show you, if you can''t find a bug then either you''re looking in the wrong place or it isn''t a bug.

OK, so why is restful authentication not as good as authlogic? The sample from Bala Paranj offers email confirmation and the sample from Authlogic does not.
