password in Windows.System.Forms.TextBox

Hi,

I have an application in which user inputs password though a windows
form in a text box. Password is stored as regular text in text
property. I have the following questions:

1. Should I worry about the password being seen by others by hacking
into the memory of the computer.

2. Is there any way to delete to clear the text property after it is
used.

I am aware of SecureString. However, I cannot bind it to a text box.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Manju

Hi

You can use the SecurePasswordTextBox control.
