How do I create a code that tracks characters pressed in a given sequence (like a password)?

Hi,

I am working on a project in which nine keys are in play. Each of the keys are connected to a specific sound, which is played when the key is pressed (using minim). But if I want the sketch to be able to track the previously pressed keys to identify if a specific code/password is pressed (keys pressed and released individually but in a specific order), how do I write this?

Put them in an array or arraylist or even a string.

String input = "";
String password = "test123";

void draw(){}
void keyPressed()
{
  input += key;
  println(key, input);
  if(input.equalsIgnoreCase(password)) println("Match!");
}

(Disclaimer: do not actually use this for passwords)
