Replace password in textbox after postback. HOW?

for security reasons you cant populate a password box

This is a security feature.

I dont think its something that you can get around - have you seen any website any where on the web that does what you are asking?

I've already done it using JavaScript ... but I just didn't want to rely on JavaScript ... I had hopes a "cleaner-way" existed, thus my EE question.

I also guess this is why some websites have taken to a single (non-password clear-text) field when openning a new user account. The double-entry into two (password hidden) fields is probably better, but a mistake anywhere else on the form ..... can be painful (and confusing) for a user.

You can define your own control MyPasswordTextBox that inherits from the regular TextBox and take care of the value there. You can leave the value as is and just take care of replacing typed characters with asteriks.

Hi,
plz try like this

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
            {
                  // Put user code to initialize the page here
                  if(Page.IsPostBack)
                  {
                         Session["Password"]=TextPasswordBox1.Text;
                  }
                  

            }


private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
            {
                  Response.Write(TextPasswordBox1.Text);
                  TextPasswordBox1.Attributes.Add("value",  Session["Password"].ToString());
                  Response.Write(TextBox2.Text);

            }

You can simply do like this also
private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
            {
                  Response.Write(TextBox1.Text);
                  TextBox1.Attributes.Add("value", TextBox1.Text);
                  Response.Write(TextBox2.Text);

            }
