why is it that password fields:
<asp:TextBox Id="txtuserpass word1" TextMode="passw ord" class="textbox" maxlength="20" Columns="15" Runat="Server" /><br>
clear everytime validation kicks in or on page refreshes? Can this be stopped? Help!
Also, I can't auto-populate the password field uising a database value.
Help. Thanx. 5  2526 
This is the default behavior. If password fields were to refresh, they would have to be stored in ViewState. Since ViewState is stored on the HTML rendered to the browser, the user can easily do a view source and have access to the password. This defeats the purpose of having the password masked.
There is no way to override this, unless you make a custom control, or some other work around.
hope this helps,

ok, I can buy the "refresh" reason but what about setting to a value via a database call:
txtuserpassword 1.Text = "" & memberdata("USE R_PASSWORD")
txtuserpassword 2.Text = "" & memberdata("USE R_PASSWORD")
they won't populate, why?
thanx.

My guess is it's built into the design of the server control. It would
seem to be a security risk to allow prepopulating a password field.
Perhaps you could do a JavaScript kludge to work around it though if you
really had to.

asp.net clears password fields by default. to set the values in code behind
use the value attribute:
txtuserpassword 1.Attributes.Ad d("value",myPas sedValue);

This will work, but for security reasons, I would recommend not putting the
actual password value in there (as it can then become visible to the user if
they view source). Rather, I've often put in "********" as the value to
represent that something has been entered. The next time the user posts, if
that value matches, then I know they left it alone and the code responds
accordingly. Otherwise, they've made a change.
