How to verify the password entered in the JavaFX password field?

The text field accepts and displays the text. In the latest versions of JavaFX, it accepts only a single line.

Similar to the text field a password field accepts text but instead of displaying the given text, it hides the typed characters by displaying an echo string.

In JavaFX the javafx.scene.control.PasswordField represents a password field and it inherits the Text class. To create a password field you need to instantiate this class.

This class inherits a property named text from its superclass TextInputControl. This property holds the contents of the current password field. You can retrieve this data using the getText() method.

Example

import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.geometry.Insets; import javafx.scene.Group; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Button; import javafx.scene.control.Label; import javafx.scene.control.PasswordField; import javafx.scene.control.TextField; import javafx.scene.layout.HBox; import javafx.scene.paint.Color; import javafx.scene.text.Font; import javafx.scene.text.FontPosture; import javafx.scene.text.FontWeight; import javafx.scene.text.Text; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class PasswordFieldVerification extends Application {    public void start(Stage stage) {       //Creating nodes       TextField textField = new TextField();       PasswordField pwdField = new PasswordField();       Button button = new Button("Submit");       button.setTranslateX(250);       button.setTranslateY(75);       //Creating labels       Label label1 = new Label("Name: ");       Label label2 = new Label("Password: ");       //Setting the message with read data       Text text = new Text("");       Font font = Font.font("verdana", FontWeight.BOLD, FontPosture.REGULAR, 10);       text.setFont(font);       text.setTranslateX(15);       text.setTranslateY(125);       text.setFill(Color.BROWN);       //Displaying the message       button.setOnAction(e -> {          //Retrieving data          String name = textField.getText();          String pwd = pwdField.getText();          if(pwd.equals("abc123")) {             text.setText("Hello "+name+" welcome to Tutorialspoint");          } else {             text.setText("Wrong password try again");          }       });       //Adding labels for nodes       HBox box = new HBox(5);       box.setPadding(new Insets(25, 5 , 5, 50));       box.getChildren().addAll(label1, textField, label2, pwdField);       Group root = new Group(box, button, text);       //Setting the stage       Scene scene = new Scene(root, 595, 150, Color.BEIGE);       stage.setTitle("Password Field Example");       stage.setScene(scene);       stage.show();    }    public static void main(String args[]){       launch(args);    } }

Output

Password typed − mypassword

Password typed − abc123
