It doesn't have to be super-safe (just checking if two strings matches), but i hardly can see the way to make it ... So far i've only find keybord functions any ideas ? thanks in advance !

Maybe i should use addButton and addTextareas somewhere out from void setup() ? I'll be thankfull for your help.

And i've got another- what would be the best window size for aplication ?- As i'm doing it on res.1680x1050 i see it looks quite crappy at standard res. like 1024x768 ? Should i than just stay with size(400,400) to make it more standard ?

We don't know which GUI library you chose. But well, if it offers a way to remove or hide the controls, you should use it after successful login.
