I'm making a really basic Login prompt GUI for revision for my Java exam next week (this exercise could possibly come up in the exam so that's why I'm trying to ace it first). Basically when you type in a certain name, in this case 'joe' it'll say verified, otherwise it'll say unverified. However, even when I type in joe it'll still say unverified. Can anyone see where I've gone wrong? Thanks.
