How to enter a special character as a Password in the JTextField of the swing component?

When we enter password in any account the characters are not shown to us. I created a JTextField whose label is "password". What can I do so that when I enter characters in this JTextField they are shown like "***********" ?

Use JPasswordField but you can use this code to convert Char to String;

String password = String.valueOf(jPasswordField.getPassword());

I think the solution to the problem is using JPasswordField

See this documentation:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JPasswordField.html

See these tutorials:

Don't use a normal JTextField, use a JPasswordField.
