title: How to remove password help from passwordbox in a UWP app
body: <p>I'm using a passwordbox control in a UWP app. By default it shows an eye icon with the help of which user can see the password to know if he typed it correctly or not.</p>

  <p>Here is my current code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Page
      x:Class="UwpApp.MainPage"
      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
      xmlns:local="using:UwpApp"
      xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
      xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
      mc:Ignorable="d"&gt;
  
      &lt;Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}"&gt;
          &lt;PasswordBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"   /&gt;
  
      &lt;/Grid&gt;
  &lt;/Page&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Although I'm targeting my application for windows 10 but I want to get rid of this password showing capability as per my applications requirement</p>
  
  <p>Interestingly, this password showing capability is absent from the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.controls.passwordbox?view=netframework-4.7.1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">passwordbox control available for WPF applications</a>?</p>
