Hey folks, could please help me set a password as hidden.

Question

I need a java code

Answer 1

@Katharina, that may work on a comp, but not here on SL...

Answer 2

You can. Use txtfield = new JPasswordField(); instead of txtfield = new JTextfield();

Answer 3

That's right. My first example was for gui. If you want to have it on console input use the following, that should work, but I don't know if it works here on SL as well.

Console console = System.console();
String username = console.readLine("Username: ");
char[] password = console.readPassword("Password: ");

Answer 4

You mean a text field where you can write a text, shown as *******?

Answer 5

Thanks a lot, your trick is working. Thanks !

Answer 6

You're welcome!
