Preserver password textbox value even after postback

[meeram395]

I have two textoxes in my form as Password and Retype Password. There is a postback after this,. The issue is whenever there is a postback, the two textboxes loses value. Is there anyway I can preserve the value and show the same after postback? please help.

Why are doing postback aftar Retype Password? because I think its not possible when your textbox mode is set to password.

It is possible. Probably it would be help somebody. You can use like this: PasswordTextBox.Attributes.Add("value", PasswordTextBox.Text.Trim()); I got this when I googled for some time and got from forums.asp.net This will preserve the value even after postback. But I am not sure whether this will invalidate any other action or causes any issue.

There is a good reason why the password doesn't get sent back in the postback so I would be wary of setting the value manually. Basically, sending the password back in the postback is a security right, if you right click on your page and view source you can see the password value in plain text, this is obviously not a good thing. If that doesn't bother you, or your organisation, fair enough but personally I wouldn't want my password being sent back in plain text.

I completely agree with you. This is because I didn't implement the functionality initially. But client requires the same and doesn't want to type again and again since the page have a couple of postbacks.
