Ready to Program JAVA - passwords

[terrytran]

Hey guys i was wondering if there was a way to code the way a user would enter in a password and not see what they are typing.

for example:

String password;

c.println ("Please enter in your password");
c.setCursor (10, 10);
password=c.readString ();


now if you were to use this code, you'd be able to see yourself typing in the password. is there a way to make it so you cannot see? Like when you type it there would be dots or whatever?

thanks in advance!

rather than a string try using a JPasswordField and then you can set the "echo charecter" which is what the actual password is visually replaced with when typing
