Hey,
You can pass a JPasswordField as the message parameter.
>From the JavaDoc of JOptionPane :-
the parameter message can take the following types of values -
message
A descriptive message to be placed in the dialog box. In the most common
usage, message is just a String or String constant. However, the type of
this parameter is actually Object. Its interpretation depends on its type:
Object[]
An array of objects is interpreted as a series of messages (one per object)
arranged in a vertical stack. The interpretation is recursive -- each object
in the array is interpreted according to its type.
Component
The Component is displayed in the dialog.
Icon
The Icon is wrapped in a JLabel and displayed in the dialog.
others
The object is converted to a String by calling its toString method. The
result is wrapped in a JLabel and displayed.
Hope this helps
Regards
Sachin
