JOptionPane set default button to Enter key

Question

This is my code for creating login dialog but I want to login automatically on Enter key press which is not getting done with this code. I have tried getRootPane().setDefaultButton(..); but I don't have JButton object.

      String _options = {"ok", "Exit"};

      JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane(this, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, null, _options,  null);
      JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog("Login");
      dialog.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
      dialog.setVisible(true);
      dialog.requestFocus();
      dialog.toFront();

I am thinking of setting default button but is there any way to get JButton object from JOptionpane?

Secondly we can set

      JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane(this, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, null, _options,  _options[0]); //set to _options[0]

but here the problem is it transfers the focus to "ok" button and name is not focusable? how can this be solved?

You can just create your own JDialog and add an ActionListener to the JPassword field.

Here is a simple example.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;

public class Password {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                new PasswordDialog();
            }
        });
    }

    static class PasswordDialog extends JDialog {
        public PasswordDialog() {
            final JLabel label = new JLabel("Type: stackoverflow");
            final JPasswordField field = new JPasswordField(20);
            final JLabel status = new JLabel("  ");

            status.setForeground(Color.RED);

            JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
            panel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10));
            panel.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
            panel.add(field, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            panel.add(status, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

            field.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    if (Arrays.equals(field.getPassword(), "stackoverflow".toCharArray())) {
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(PasswordDialog.this, "Correct Password");
                    } else {
                        status.setText("Invalid Password");
                    }
                }
            });

            add(panel);
            pack();
            setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            setVisible(true);

            addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
                public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                    System.exit(0);
                }
            }); 
        }
    }
}
