Courses Plus Student 8,503 Pointswhat's wrong in here?
I wrote the code as below for blank which I need: "authenticate(params[:password])"
if user && user.authenticate(params[:password])
I'm not sure what's wrong, it is always show incorrect. btw, could you give the notification for user? I just saw the incorrectly, but I can't see any notification.

Courses Plus Student 8,503 Pointsit is fixed. just used method user.authenticate, doesn't has any parameter. but it is weird, it is check submitted password, no parameter to calling authenticate, just checking email? Jason Seifer

Courses Plus Student 8,503 PointsJason Seifer Can you help me it?

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Yang Bo I'm not sure I understand the question exactly. You should be calling the authenticate method with params[:password]. Check out the documentation on the subject for more information. It should take a single parameter which is the unencrypted password.
Yang Bo
Courses Plus Student 8,503 Pointsyes, but the correctly answer is
user.authenticate
it is without params[:password]

Courses Plus Student 3,372 Pointshey im having the same issue, im not sure what to try anymore i been working on this for 5 hours going though other websites and still can seem to understand it
Yang Bo
Courses Plus Student 8,503 Pointsjust use user.authenticate, don't pass any params...
Christopher haro
Courses Plus Student 3,372 Pointsive try that and its not working ,
just
" user.authenicate "
Yang Bo
Courses Plus Student 8,503 Pointsor please try
if user & user.authenicate(params[:password]) (i think it is correct, but the right awnser is next) or if user & user.authenicate (it is my previous right awnser when during course)
Christopher haro
Courses Plus Student 3,372 Pointsit didnt work
Christopher haro
Courses Plus Student 3,372 Pointsi know that's the correct. but its not working it should just be
user.authenticate
but its not working? i dont understand why its not working , the params shouldnt have to be used in the answer.
