There is an issue with the BindablePasswordBox. It only works in one direction, PasswordBox to PasswordProperty. Below is a modified version of it that works in both directions. It registers a PropertyChangedCallback and updates the PasswordBox's Password when it is called. I hope that someone finds this useful.

public class BindablePasswordBox : Decorator
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty PasswordProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Password", typeof(string), typeof(BindablePasswordBox), new PropertyMetadata(string.Empty, OnDependencyPropertyChanged));
    public string Password
    {
        get { return (string)GetValue(PasswordProperty); }
        set { SetValue(PasswordProperty, value); }
    }

    private static void OnDependencyPropertyChanged(DependencyObject source, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        BindablePasswordBox p = source as BindablePasswordBox;
        if (p != null)
        {
            if (e.Property == PasswordProperty)
            {
                var pb = p.Child as PasswordBox;
                if (pb != null)
                {
                    if (pb.Password != p.Password)
                        pb.Password = p.Password;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public BindablePasswordBox()
    {
        Child = new PasswordBox();
        ((PasswordBox)Child).PasswordChanged += BindablePasswordBox_PasswordChanged;
    }

    void BindablePasswordBox_PasswordChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Password = ((PasswordBox)Child).Password;
    }
}
