I ran into some problems upgrading devise from 1.0.x to 1.3.x.

• to use passwords besides bcrypt you have to made 2 changes:
  • in config/initializers/devise.rb
    • config.encryptor = :sha1 (for devise 1.0.x compatibility)
  • in User model (or whatever model calls devise)
    • call devise with both :database_authenticatable and :encryptable
  • you can tell you have issues with this if you see errors like BCrypt::Errors::InvalidHash or “invalid hash”
• browser validation prevents sign in with something other than email
  • I create app/views/devise/sessions/new.html.erb from the devise version and changed email_field to text_field
  • Can’t log in with “username” (some hidden JS blocking) – Devise | Google Groups
