@dtaylor-530 sorry to bother but something very weird happens to me. Ive added the code and the extension
<PasswordBox Margin="{StaticResource SmallTopMargin}" h:PasswordHelper.Attach="True" h:PasswordHelper.Password="{Binding BackupPassword, Mode=TwoWay}" mah:TextBoxHelper.UseFloatingWatermark="True" mah:TextBoxHelper.Watermark="{x:Static properties:Resources.SettingsPageBackupPwd}" Style="{StaticResource MahApps.Styles.PasswordBox.Button.Revealed}" ToolTip="{x:Static properties:Resources.SettingsPageBackupPwdTooltip}" />

I've put it in the settings page of a standard WPF app created with the visual studio template for Core 3.1
But when I leave the page I get an "empty" password:
BackupPassword >t< BackupPassword >te< BackupPassword >tes< BackupPassword >test< BackupPassword >< navigated from

to debug it I've added:
private string _backupPassword; public string BackupPassword { get { return _backupPassword; } set { Debug.WriteLine("BackupPassword >" + value+ "<"); Set(ref _backupPassword, value); } }

I'm using MVVM Light

@msavazzi hi
If your still having difficulties with this problem then i can take a look at what you have so far. I tried to clone your repository @https://github.com/msavazzi/Mahapps.PasswordBind but there were files missing including the UserControl with the PasswordBox.

@dtaylor-530 still have the issue. Weird for the project as I just dumped the (clear) solution folder on git. Let me know if you need more info
