In the dropdown_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) method set the password field and confirmpassword field

    txtPassword.Attributes.Add("value",txtPassword.Text);
    txtconfirmPassword.Attributes.Add("value", txtconfirmPassword.Text);

And again in the submit button click you have to clear the password field like the below

   txtPassword.Attributes["value"] = "";
   txtconfirmPassword.Attributes["value"] = "";

You can put the DropDownList onto an UpdatePanel. Or use JavaScript instead of server side postback.

As Quintin indicated, this is by design. TextBox.Text does not get persisted when TextMode is "Password". You can work around this by setting

txtPassword.Attributes[ "value" ] = txtPassword.Text;

some time during page processing.

It's not a mistake it's just that passwords won't be sent back to the client after a postback, this is by design. What is your intent?.. is there a reason you would like the password boxes to persist through postbacks?
