How to change the name of an object placed inside the [FromBody] attribute?

Question

I have the class NameModel that will be used in the [FromBody] attribute. I NEED/am required to use Psswd instead of using the word "Password". [JsonProperty] attribute only works when serialized but it doesn't work if users use "Password" as the parameter inside the Body.

The problem is that I want the parameter being used to still be "Password" when placed in the body. Is this possible?

public class NameModel
{
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Password")]
    public string Psswd { get; set; }
}

This is inside my ApiController:

public object Login([FromBody]NameModel nameModel) {}

It still doesn't work. It still can't recognize the word 'Pssd' as 'Password' from the body. So when I retrieve its value it is null. — Kate Lastimosa, Feb 15 '19 at 06:36
Have you tried using DataMember attribute: [DataMember(Name = "Password")] public string Psswd { get; set; } ? — Bijay Koirala, Feb 15 '19 at 08:42
Yes. I also tried [Display(Name = "Password")] but still has the same outcome. — Kate Lastimosa, Feb 15 '19 at 08:48

Have you tried removing [FromBody] and also including

[JsonProperty("Password")] public string Psswd { get; set; }

instead of:

[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Password")] public string Psswd { get; set; }

When I removed PropertyName = in the JsonProperty attribute it worked fine for me.
