In the .Net Framework 1.1 the password property had a get accessor which
seems to have been removed in the .Net amework 2.0 assembly . Is there a
security issue and is it why this property is allowed only a set in the 2.0

Yes, it was removed in .NET 2.0. It is a write-only property now. This was
done for security purposes.
