For this do while loop, what changes to the code need to be made for it to check the password correctly?

I believe the while portion is correct. I've created a variable password to have a password definition.

Still, I am not sure what's missing from the code.

script.js 
// Display the prompt dialogue while the value assigned to `secret` is not equal to "sesame"
let secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");

// This should run after the loop is done executing
alert("You know the secret password. Welcome!");


do {
 let secret = prompt("What's the secret password?");
 const password === 'sesame';
} while (password !== 'sesame');

Hey Alexandra,

Inside the first block of do write a code that opens a prompt dialog and store in the variable secret.

Inside the while write a condition that checks while the secret !== 'sesame'keep displaying the prompt dialog that asks users to enter the secret password. If the users guess the right password sesame the condition will be false and therefore it'll execute the alert message

let secret;
// Display the prompt dialogue while the value assigned to `secret` is not equal to "sesame"
do{
  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while(secret !== 'sesame')
// This should run after the loop is done executing
  alert("You know the secret password. Welcome!");
