I am using [entity framework](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1566/crud-operations-using-entity-framework-code-first-approach) and .net 4.5 with c#5 for first time from last 2-3 [days](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/157271/how-to-get-cloudways-free-trial-for-14-days-free) and i want to display a [input](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159209/how-can-i-read-convert-an-input-stream-into-a-string-in-java) type as [password](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/118/retriving-user-password-by-using-stored-procedure-in-asp-dot-net) [field](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160867/does-mindstick-provide-training-for-field-marketing) but don't know how to do it

```
<div class="editor-field">    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Password)    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Password)</div>

Hi Mark,

Use @Html.PasswordFor instead of @Html.EditorFor and for comparing two password your required to change model as show below

```
 public class ChangePasswordModel {    [Required]    [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]    [DataType(DataType.Password)]    [Display(Name = "New password")]    public string NewPassword { get; set; }    [DataType(DataType.Password)]    [Display(Name = "Confirm new password")]    [System.Web.Mvc.Compare("NewPassword", ErrorMessage = "The new password and confirmation password do not match.")]    public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }}
```
