Question

I am attempting to get the data from a wpf password box into a secure string. How is that done?
what i have so far:

 SecureString pass = new SecureString();
        pass.AppendChar(pbox1.Password);

this of course does not work, so how would I get the password data without creating a regular string?

Answer 1

you need to read each character in

SecureString pass = new SecureString();

foreach (char c in pbox1.Password)
{
  pass.AppendChar(c);
}

or more securely use the SecurePassword property

SecureString pass = pbox1.SecurePassword
