I’ve been trying to protect password entry boxes in Windows Phone 7 (on the emulator)
SilverLight supports inputscopes to achieve just this.
Peter Foot blogged about this too.

It seems that password inputscope doesn’t quite work yet, please don’t pull your hair out like I just did.. This is the code I was using.
<TextBox Height="31" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="240,99,0,0" Name="tbuser" Text="" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="181" TabIndex="1" >
<TextBox.InputScope>
<InputScope>
<InputScope.Names>
<InputScopeName NameValue="TelephoneNumber"/>
</InputScope.Names>
</InputScope>
</TextBox.InputScope>
</TextBox>
Other inputscopes like Telephonenumber work great. Thought I would blog this to save you from a small bit of pain.
I’ve since solved this by using the PasswordBox control
