[FIXED] CakePHP 3: How to automatically log a user in after registration

Issue

I am trying to log a user in using CakePHP 3 right after registration, but I have not been successful. This is what I am doing:

function register(){
    // ....
    if($result = $this->Users->save($user)){
        // Retrieves corresponding user that was just saved
        $authUser = $this->Users->get($result->id);

        // Log user in using Auth
        $this->Auth->setUser($authUser);

        // Redirect user
        $this->redirect('/users/account');
    }
}

Solution

I guess posting this question opened my eyes to a fix. This is what I did to get it to work... if there is better way, I would be glad to change it...

function register(){
    // .... Default CakePHP generated code

    if($result = $this->Users->save($user)){
        // Retrieve user from DB
        $authUser = $this->Users->get($result->id)->toArray();

        // Log user in using Auth
        $this->Auth->setUser($authUser);

        // Redirect user
        $this->redirect(['action' => 'account']);
    }
}
