  attr_accessor :password

Answer 1

I guess you are using Rails 4. If so, the needed parameters must be marked as required.

You might want to do it like this:

class UsersController < ApplicationController

  def create
    @user = User.new(user_params)
    # ...
  end

  private

  def user_params
    params.require(:user).permit(:username, :email, :password, :salt, :encrypted_password)
  end
end
