Hi Ulrich,
the current PasswordField component always blanks the value.
If you really want to keep the password (might result into security
and usability issues as the user has no chance to check whether the
value is valid and the password will be unencrypted in the HTML),
write your own password component that extends from AbstractTextField
but does not blank the value.
Regards,
Markus
