Don't understand my parse error. Also says sesame is undefined yet I believe I am not suppose to define it?

Need some assistance

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

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

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

You are asking the user to enter a password and it will prompt until they do so. You need a condition to check for that. Right now you are not checking for anything it is saying while secret is not equal to ? so..

while (secret !=='sesame') {
       secret=prompt("What is the secret password?")// then assign secret to this
};

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