This is indeed the default behaviour of <h:inputSecret> due to security reasons. You can get the value to redisplay anyway by setting the redisplay attribute to true.

<h:inputSecret value="#{bean.password}" redisplay="true" />

See also its view declaration language documentation (emphasis mine)

Encode Behavior

Render the clientId of the component as the value of the "name" attribute. Render the current value of the component as the value of the "value" attribute, if and only if the "redisplay" component attribute is the string "true". If the "styleClass" attribute is specified, render its value as the value of the "class" attribute.

You're welcome. It's by the way an attribute, not a tag :) – BalusC Dec 15 '11 at 06:10

This is part of xhtml page:

<h:form>
    <h:inputSecret value="#{login.password}" />
</h:form>

This is backing bean:

@Component //Spring component
public class Login{
    private String password;
    public Login(){
       password="12341fsf"; //any value you want to set
    }
}

I tested this code it works fine
