I too once faced the same problems...
Are you using applets? or a UI? or is it just the command line??
Because if its applets or UI it can be done, I had read a article on sun Java's website for it, but in command line, its almost impossible, although I found a trick, its not very good, found it on sun's website, dont remember just now

I am looking for both solutions if you have UI based code then please tell

This thread should give an acceptable solution: Mask input in Java (Thread by redhat)

^QwertyM : JPasswordField doesnt need to set .echoChar()
Not unless you wanna show some other char specifically.

Ohk, does it use asterix by default on all platforms? Windows uses a different thing so I thought maybe you had to set it that way. Wrote those on *nix though

It is '*' by default. But i believe it changes depending on the L&F used.
