Answer 1

String pwd = new String(jPasswordField1.getPassword());

---

Option 1:

jTextField1.setText(""+pwd);

Option 2:

System.out.println(""+pwd);

Answer 2

Use this code:

String password = String.valueOf(jPasswordField.getPassword());

The JPasswordField is encrypted but if you use String.valueOf it will converted Char to String.
