Creating a while loop in Javascript

Can anyone help me out that how to create a while loop for the below challenge?

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

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">

Add this below your declaration of 'secret'.

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

This will just basically keep looping until the condition defined is true.
