Hello Susanta,

To add Username and password in app setting shown below :-

  key="Username" value="Admin" />

 key="Password" value="Admin1234" />

To update the password in web config :-

Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);

config.AppSettings.Settings.Remove("MyVariable"); 
config.AppSettings.Settings.Add("MyVariable", "MyValue"); config.Save();

For reference see below link:-

Ok..

If you want to change configuration from code behind... So, following is an example..

<add key="MailFrom" value="[email protected]"/>

You could use the AppSettings property indexer:
string from = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MailFrom"];
