passwordbox

We have the following scenario: MVVM userinterface where a user can place his password (actually a PasswordBox ) Server that shall do some work Server connects to some Database that requires authentification And I already read this Question on PasswordBox in MVVM But there is no answer on how to do! Just lots over "never ever do that". What is the correct way of passing a password around? How to resolve the security issues? There is no proper way of Binding to the PasswordBox and the Password shall not be stored somewhere, okay. So, what is the MVVM way of doing such things? Even if the

I have a WPF application with two PasswordBoxes, one for the password and another for the password to be entered a second time for confirmation purposes. I was wanting to use PasswordBox.SecurePassword to get the SecureString of the password, but I need to be able to compare the contents of the two PasswordBoxes to ensure equality before I accept the password. However, two identical SecureStrings are not considered equal: var secString1 = new SecureString(); var secString2 = new SecureString(); foreach (char c in "testing") { secString1.AppendChar(c); secString2.AppendChar(c); } Assert

The Caliburn.Micro home page at http://caliburnmicro.com makes the below claim but I am unable to make CM work with a PasswordBox control using any variation I can think of from that example. Don't see how this would work anyway since the names are not the same case. Does anyone have a CM example that does allow me to get the value of the PasswordBox? Is there a particular version of CM required? I'm running version 1.5.2 of CM. Ideally w/o using Attached Properties but if can work with CM and the only way then fine. Please no lectures on security issues as that is not an issue in my case.

I wonder i some one have any good idea how to show the password in the PasswordBox. Have read that you can bind a textbox to a passwordbox but isnt it another way to do it. If you want your password to be visible you should use a textbox. The only function of a password box is to mask input. It doesn't provide extra functionality. Its also possible to switch your textbox and password box at runtime There are no any inbuilt properties to show password character in PasswordBox control. But we could do this by TextBox control to display Password in PasswordBox. For PasswordBox with show/hide

I have a PasswordBox and I need to use this control even as a TextBox . I need to display normal text and not the typical black dots Is there a property to do this? Thanks. Joshua Van Hoesen Here is your answer: Use a Textbox When you want the text masked set TextBox.UseSystemPasswordChar = true; when you want to see the text set TextBox.UseSystemPasswordChar = false; Profit Example: private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (checkBox1.Checked == true) { TextBox.UseSystemPasswordChar = true; } else { TextBox.UseSystemPasswordChar = false; } } Black dots when you

I'm just getting started with M-V-VM and WPF and having issues understanding some binding issues. I have a login page that has a ComboBox and a PasswordBox . The ComboBox looks like this: <ComboBox Name="comboBox1" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=Username}"> This works just fine - my values get updated everytime the SelectedItem changes on the ComboBox ! In my ViewModel I have an ICommand which uses this method to determine if the Login button is active: public bool CanLogin() { return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Username) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Password); } So my problem is I don't have the
