how to replace a string when the user type the value.
(
System.out.print("\t\tUsername : ");
username=in.readLine();
System.out.print("\n");
System.out.print("\t\tPassword : ");
password=in.readLine();
)
present output:

username: hai
password: 123
how to implement below output:

needed output:

username:hai
password:***

[Webuser]

username=in.readLine();

Is it an IO task?

i don't know of any api that does that (in console), so i would just check for the number of characters in password, then output the same number in *.

[Webuser]

in.readLine();

where is the method? The code is not completed I guess :(
