Code took too long to run?

Here's my code. I've tested it in workspaces and it works as I would expect it to?

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

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

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

Nevermind! I didn't realise that the task specifically required the "password" to be "sesame"
