Echo jpassword character once and then hide it

问题:

In my swing application I want to echo jpassword field character for some time (1 second) and then again hide it. I want to do it character by character after user inputs a character (When user inputs a character, show it, then hide it. Then for all input characters repeat this). Can someone tell me is it possible, if yes how? Thanks in advance!

It's not very complicated, you can disable the masking characters when you set this value to “0″ with this method: setEchoChar((char) 0)

pass.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener() {
    public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
        unhide();
    }
    public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
        unhide();
    }
    public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
        unhide();
    }

    public void unhide(){
        pass.setEchoChar((char) 0);//display password
        //here your timer
        pass.setEchoChar('*');//hide with '*'
    }
});

The code above shows you a first idea of ​​what you should do. You'll have to use a thread to wait for the desired time.

I came across this which may be a good start as it displays the last char entered and shows the rest of the password is masked but doesn't hide it after a set time so you would probably need to implement an event to hide after set time Check it out here
