Grails Spring-security-ui plugin, not using password encryption

Question

So, I have been making an app, got the back end sorted, generated the user,role and userRole classes in the spring-security-core plugin,within a domain plugin, then used the override command on s2ui to make the login and register controllers, within the main app.

I have the email verification working perfectly and when I bootstrap my admin and customer users and roles, I can log in perfectly.

But if i register a user, and then click on the email link, it logs me in using that, but if I log out and try to log back in, it does not recognise the password.

I am using grails 4.0.5 with jvm 1.8, with the security-core plugin: 4.0.3 and security-ui plugin: 4.0.0.M1.

If there is any more info needed then please let me know, I have probably missed something silly.

Thanks in advance.

For anyone else with this issue, make sure you have this line in your application.groovy.

grails.plugin.springsecurity.ui.encodePassword = true
