Masking password input from the console : Java

by

A full example ?. Run this code : (NB: This example is best run in the console and not from within an IDE, since the System.console() method might return null in that case.)

import java.io.Console;
public class Main {

    public void passwordExample() {        
        Console console = System.console();
        if (console == null) {
            System.out.println("Couldn't get Console instance");
            System.exit(0);
        }

        console.printf("Testing password%n");
        char[] passwordArray = console.readPassword("Enter your secret password: ");
        console.printf("Password entered was: %s%n", new String(passwordArray));

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Main().passwordExample();
    }
}
