@TheKeytrap there is, Use it like this

        <hc:PasswordBox PasswordBox.PasswordChanged="PasswordBox_PasswordChanged"/>

@ghost1372 Hello, thanks for the answer. It would be nice a to have a 'ActualPassword' DependecyProperty which will act like Text and not SecureString. Btw, why is there no PasswordChanged event ? Or TextChanged ?

I don't think this is a bug.
Take a look here

When you try to databind the password property of a PasswordBox you will recognize that you cannot do data binding on it. The reason for this is, that the password property is not backed by a DependencyProperty.

The reason is databinding passwords is not a good design for security reasons and should be avoided
