getText() vs getPassword()

Question

I\'m currently designing a login system for a make-believe company, right now all I have is the Main login, which needs a lot of cleaning up. Below is my login handler.

Answer 1

JPasswordField.getPassword() returns a char [] instead of a String. This is done for the sake of security. You should compare the characters inside the array instead of seeing if the char [] .equals(a String);
