I have trouble with public strings | C#

Hey! I would like to take the definition of a string to another class. By that I mean:

Taking the public string password; to the class Username. I've tried some things but it didnt work..

using System;

namespace Project {

public class Password {

   public string password;                    //this one
    public static void Main() {
        Password pass = new Password();

        Console.WriteLine("Please write a new password!");
        pass.password = Console.ReadLine();

        Console.WriteLine("Are you sure you want to change your password to: " + pass.password + "? (Yes/No)");
        string input = Console.ReadLine();

        if(input.ToLower() == "yes") 
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Your password has been changed to " + pass.password + "!");
            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue..");
            Console.ReadKey();
            Console.Clear();
            Username.Name ();

        }
        else if(input.ToLower() == "no")
        {
        Console.WriteLine(pass.password + " will not be saved as your password");
        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to restart");
        Console.ReadKey();
        Console.Clear();
        Main();
        //System.Environment.Exit(0);

        }

        else 
        {
        Console.WriteLine("ERROR! Press any key to restart");
        Console.ReadKey();
        Console.Clear();
        Main ();
        }
    }




}
class Username                  //to use it's value down here
{
    public static void Name () 
    {
     Password result_password = new Password();
     Console.WriteLine(result_password.password);
     Console.ReadKey();

    }
}

}

You can define a string password parameter for the Name method. Or for any method you choose. Something like this:

class Username                  
{
    public static void Name (string password) 
    {

     /// We are doing something with the password

    }
}

You can define a string in the block or use with the keyword this the member of the current class. And I think It would have been nicer in your program to use while(true) loop with break and continue than calling repeatedly Main.
