I cannot break this While loop [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• How do I compare strings in Java? 23 answers

this program is a test adventure game based on simple inputs and outputs of java code

public class textGameTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
    String usrName = "Combat Fighter", usrAns1=".";

    Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("Welcome to adventure battle quest!\npress enter to continue...");
    System.in.read();

    while(1==1){
    System.out.print("Please enter your name: ");
    usrName = reader.next();
    System.out.print("You entered " + usrName + "\nis this what you want? \t\nY \tor\t N\n\t");
    usrAns1 = reader.next();
    System.out.print("you entered "+usrAns1+"\n");
    if (usrAns1 == "Y"||usrAns1 == "y"){
        break;
    }

    }
System.out.print("Ok, let the adventure begin "+usrName);



}

Its supposed to break the loop if the user inputs"y" or "Y" but whenever the user inputs y pr Y the code ignores it and just continues the loop... any help? this is what happens when it runs:

Welcome to adventure battle quest! press enter to continue... Please enter your name: Test You entered Test is this what you want?
Y or N y you entered y Please enter your name: Test2 You entered Test2 is this what you want?
Y or N Y you entered Y Please enter your name: Itsnotworking You entered Itsnotworking is this what you want?
Y or N n you entered n Please enter your name: Test You entered Test is this what you want?
Y or N y you entered y Please enter your name:
