Watermark Password box in windows 8 store app

Question

I am building a cross platform app using MVVMCROSS.

I have to use a watermark password box in my app. I tried using the excellent WinRT xaml toolkit but when i try to build the solution i get the error -

 "Error 40  Payload file "winrtxamltoolkit.1.6.0.3\lib\netcore45\WinRTXamlToolkit\Controls\ToolWindow\ToolWindow.xaml' does not exist"

So am guessing it doesnt work for netcore45 ?

Anyway I also tried using this solution http://www.julmar.com/blog/programming/adding-a-watermark-to-a-passwordbox-in-a-windows-store-app/

But unfortunately it doesnt work when i put two watermarkPasswordBoxes in a stack panel together.

Is there any working example of Watermark Password Box in WinRT XAML ?

Sorry, I missed packaging that file into 8.0 as I mainly work on 8.1 and VS2013. It should be fixed now in 1.6.0.4. Just update your NuGet package and it should work.
