PasswordBox - Bindable?

[msavazzi]

Team,
does Mahapps provide a method to bind the Passoword property?
I've not seen it in the example.

Here the project I've tried but it ends always with an empty password:

Yes it does have. Here's an example from a project of mine:

<PasswordBox mahControls:PasswordBoxHelper.CapsLockWarningToolTip="Caps Lock is on" mahControls:TextBoxHelper.Watermark="Password" mahShared:PasswordBoxBindingBehavior.Password="{Binding Password, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True, Mode=TwoWay}" />
Notice the MahApps PasswordBoxBindingBehaviour is used to bind the password to a Password string property in my ViewModel.

Just FYI the XAML namespaces are:

xmlns:mahControls="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/controls" xmlns:mahShared="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/shared"

@makingbloke I have a major issue. When I leave the settings page and go back to the first page the password got cancelled.
I've added some debug strings and here the outcome:

I enter the page:

BackupPassword >test<

I press 2 and add it

BackupPassword >test2<

When I press on the main page

BackupPassword ><
navigated from

So the password is always empty.
If I change the passwordBox into a textbox that does not happen

@msavazzi your demo is missing very important parts. Please double-check it.

Sorry, I don’t know, sounds more like something in your project. I’m using MVVM and the password control is bound to a property in the View Model. The VM is a singleton that gets injected into the logon form so I can get at the password by looking at this.

@makingbloke I've created a sample project here: https://github.com/msavazzi/Mahapps.PasswordBind with nothing in it apart your suggestion or a potential other solution. Both of them does not work.
can you be so kind to check what I'm doing wrong?

Hi @msavazzi

I provided an working solution to your sample (different ViewModel as the one you provided does not run). The issue must be something else, but we are not here to solve all your issues. See: msavazzi/Mahapps.PasswordBind#2

/cc @makingbloke fyi

Happy coding
