#password_digest(password, salt) ⇒ Object

This provides a modest increased defense against a dictionary attack if your db were ever compromised, but will invalidate existing passwords. See the README and the file config/initializers/site_keys.rb

It may not be obvious, but if you set REST_AUTH_SITE_KEY to nil and REST_AUTH_DIGEST_STRETCHES to 1 you’ll have backwards compatibility with older versions of restful-authentication.
