PasswordBox pwdBox = new PasswordBox();
pwdBox.Password = "Open Sesame!";

Dim pwdBox As New PasswordBox()
pwdBox.Password = "Open Sesame!"

Remarks

When you get the Password property value, you expose the password as plain text in memory. To avoid this potential security risk, use the SecurePassword property to get the password as a SecureString.

Setting this property to null causes the underlying password to be set to Empty.
