Do not write the password_digest attribute directly. Use password (and probably password_confirmation) instead and Rails will do the magic for you.

Change

user.password_digest = data[:info][:password]

to

user.password              = data[:info][:password]
user.password_confirmation = data[:info][:password]

I advise to read the docs for has_secure_password.
