Hello Kapil,

Such a functionality is not supported by RadTextBox (or asp:TextBox), because it requires switching the "type" property of the textbox element and browsers do not allow this. Use an AJAX request to swtich the TextMode server-side.

Hi all,

Found a working solution.

This example show the password on focus, but you can use it in other ways to of course (via a checkbox "show password" ie)

<telerik:RadTextbox ID="rnt_User_Password" TextMode="Password" runat="server" />

txt_User_Password.Attributes.Add("onfocus", "this.type='text';")
txt_User_Password.Attributes.Add("onblur", "this.type='password';")

Hello Erik,

This will work in most browsers, but not in older IE like 6 and 7. So use it if you are sure that your site is browsed in modern browsers.
