    public static String getPassword(String title) {
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        final JPasswordField passwordField = new JPasswordField(10);
        panel.add(new JLabel("Password"));
        panel.add(passwordField);
        JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane(panel, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION) {
            @Override
            public void selectInitialValue() {
                passwordField.requestFocusInWindow();
            }
        };
        pane.createDialog(null, title).setVisible(true);
        return passwordField.getPassword().length == 0 ? null : new String(passwordField.getPassword());
    }
