Hi all:

Through a Session variable, I am populating among other things the password
field in a user's profile page (the Webform);

this.TextBoxConfirmPassword.Text = Convert.ToString(Session["sPassword"]);


The odd thing is, when you view the Webform, the password (if even it were
masked) does not indicate visually that the control has been populated. My
TextBox is a server control of type Password.

Can you populate the value of a Password TextBox? Or can it only be entered
manually?

No , for security reasons you cannot. View/Source in your browser would show
the password in plain text. I have seen it populated via javascript but
again it was in plain text.
