How to create password field in Swing

Question

I want to create a password field to take a login password. I don’t want to the text typed to be visible. I want it to be masked with an asterisk or some other special character. How to do this in Swing?

Answer 1

Swing provides an object called JPasswordField for this requirement. This object creates a text box but masks the typed input.

JFrame f=new JFrame("Login");

JPasswordField pass=new JPasswordField();

f.add(pass);
