Bryan, I mean: why rails don't need confirmation of password?

You are already asking in your model for it to validate the presence of the password, it's length between 6-40 characters, and that it matches the password in the password_confirmation field. It's all on this one line.

 validates :password, :presence => true, :length => {:within => 6..40}, :confirmation => true

It only runs that validation if password_confirmation is not nil. Since you aren't supplying a :password_confirmation in your create statement it is treated as nil therefore no check is run. You need to require the that the user give you password_confirmation. Add the following right after the above code line and that should fix your issue.

validates :password_confirmation, :presence => true
