Hook before before_login

[i-h8-github]

I need to force a password reset since I'm migrating from a different database/login system (and to weed out bot accounts), and doing this by simply leaving out passwords in migration is easy enough.

However, I would like to inform the user that their password requires reset, i.e. by setting the error flash when they try to log in, but I can't find a more early hook to use than before_login. The problem is that before_login is only called before a successful login, and thus will never be reached if the password does not exist, which instead throws the :invalid_password error.

Any advice on the best way to proceed?

You probably want to use before_login_attempt.

This is perfect. Thank you.
