Answer 1

One of the easiest method to show and hide password is by using radio button inside password text box

The properties of radio button should be like:

this.radioBtn_ShowHidePassword.AutoCheck = false;    

then the clicking activity has to be taken care manually just making it to be reverse of present state in its "Click" event

private void radioBtn_ShowHidePassword_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 radioBtn_ShowHidePassword.Checked = (! radioBtn_ShowHidePassword.Checked);
}

then finally the easiest way of show and hide password

private void radioBtn_ShowHidePassword_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   txtBoxPassword.PasswordChar = radioBtn_ShowHidePassword.Checked ? '\0' : '*';
   // here we can even include the code for changing the default picture of button to two different
   //representation like closed eye and opened eye which resembles Windows login
}
