Code Chanllenge: JS Loop & Array

The code in app.js just opens a prompt, asks for a password, and writes to the document. Something is missing. Add a while loop, so that a prompt keeps appearing until the user types "sesame" into the prompt.

app.js
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
var password = 'sesame';

while(secret==password){
  document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
}

You need the password check inside the loop so it keeps asking until complete:

var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
var password = 'sesame';

while(secret!==password){
 secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
}

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
