In Railscasts episode regarding “Authlogic”  
[#160 Authlogic - RailsCasts](http://railscasts.com/episodes/160-authlogic), at 5:39, it adds a  
password confirmation field, and calls it :password\_confirmation

Is :password\_confirmation part of the Authlogic or can be used  
originally with Rails?

Thanks.
