Answer 1

I see two problems with your code:
1.
XAML is case sensitive with regards to binding paths, but you have used lower cased property names in your XAML. (You can find out more from the 'Case and Whitespace in XAML' section of the XAML Overview (WPF) page at MSDN.
XAML is generally speaking case sensitive. For purposes of resolving backing types, WPF XAML is case sensitive by the same rules that the CLR is case sensitive. Object elements, property elements, and attribute names must all be specified by using the sensitive casing when compared by name to the underlying type in the assembly, or to a member of a type.
2.
You do not need to set the Password property of the PasswordBox in your OnPasswordPropertyChanged handler, although this shouldn't cause your described problem.
