JavaFX PasswordField

However, typing a password in a text field is not secure for the user. The Application must use a specific component to get the password from the user.

Passwordfield can be created by instantiating javafx.scene.control.PasswordField class. PasswordField class contains a method named as setPromptText() for showing a prompt text to the user in password field. The data written in the passwordfield is retrieved by getText() method.

Example:

package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
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.GridPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class PasswordFieldTest extends Application {

	
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);	
}

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	Label user_id=new Label("User ID");
	Label password = new Label("Password");
	TextField tf=new TextField();
	PasswordField pf=new PasswordField();
	pf.setPromptText("Enter Password");
	Button b = new Button("Submit");
	GridPane root = new GridPane();
	root.addRow(0, user_id, tf);
	root.addRow(1, password, pf);
	root.addRow(5, b);
	Scene scene=new Scene(root,300,200);
	primaryStage.setScene(scene);
	primaryStage.setTitle("PasswordField Example");
	primaryStage.show();
}
}
