title: Getting Text property in codebehind from ASP.NET TextBox with TextMode = Password
body: <p>I have a <code>&lt;asp:TextBox</code> with <code>TextMode="Password"</code>. How can I read the value that the user entered, using the codebehind?</p>
  
  <p>I want to create a new user with code like this, but <code>PasswordTextBox.Text</code> is always an empty string.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Membership.CreateUser(Username, PasswordTextBox.Text)
  </code></pre>
