Hi Telerik,
I know binding the password should not be done due to the password being in the RAM is bad practice.
Now everything I want is to let the database tell me if there even is a password (I'm NOT loading the password/password hash) so I can set the Variable I was planning on binding to some garbage text (eg. ********) so the user is visually informed there has been a password set before.
What is a way I can archive this?
BTW: What is best practice to use/get the actual password the user entered to store it? Your examples and documentation on this topic are - as often - paper thin.
Thanks a lot

Hello Rolf,
You can bind to the Text property of the control - it will always contain the visible chars (not the actual password). You can always get the current password as string by using the Password property, or alternately you could get the password as SecureString by using the SecurePassword property.
Hope this helps.
