Wow! Awesomely simple!
However There are some problems.
- You can copy&paste it! :D
- Not works in non-English languages such as Korean, Japanese, Chinese…
(TextBox will show there characters.)

Although this simple solution has 2 problems, you can find way like :
- You can prevent copy&paste to use follow code in TextBox’s KeyDown event handler.
if ((Keyboard.Modifiers & ModifierKeys.Control) == ModifierKeys.Control)
(sender as TextBox).Select(0, 0);)
- You can make password.ttf to support your language’s characters.
(but it may not regconize upper/lower case.)

Hi,

I agree, but, if you are writting your password it means you know it. Then I guess you won’t steal your own password by copying/pasting it.
In my opinion masking with stars is only a security for curious guys who might see your screen…

Hi,

You solution seems to be cool, but only seems… :)
In fact, because you are using a custom font, the content of the textbox isn’t masked and you can get its content with a simple copy/paste, which isn’t very secure.
By the way, I think that writing a new TextBox with different input mode is really much sexy and secure.
