<Window x:Class = "PasswordBox.MainWindow" 
   xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
   xmlns:x = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
   Title = "MainWindow" Height = "350" Width = "604"> 
	
   <Grid > 
      <PasswordBox x:Name = "pwBox" Height = "35" Width = "200" 
         MaxLength = "8" Margin = "159,55,158,229" /> 
      <Label Content = "Password" HorizontalAlignment = "Left" Margin = "108,61,0,0"  
         VerticalAlignment = "Top" Width = "70" /> 
      <Button Content = "Ok" HorizontalAlignment = "Left" Margin = "406,64,0,0" 
         VerticalAlignment = "Top" Width = "75" Click = "Button_Click"/> 
      <Label Name = "statusText" HorizontalAlignment = "Left" Margin = "159,128,0,0"  
         VerticalAlignment = "Top" Width = "200" Height = "38"/> 
   </Grid> 
	
</Window>

Here is the button click event implementation in C# in which the program compares if the entered password is wpf12345 then it will display the correct password message on the textblock.

using System.Windows;  

namespace WPFPasswordBoxControl { 
   /// <summary>
      /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml 
   /// </summary> 
	
   public partial class MainWindow : Window {
	
      public MainWindow() { 
         InitializeComponent(); 
      }  
		
      private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { 
		
         if (pwBox.Password.ToString() == "wpf12345") 
            statusText.Text = "Password Accepted"; 
         else 
            statusText.Text = "Wrong Password"; 
      } 
		
   } 
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it will produce the following window −
