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 ( guess !== password) {
  guess = "sesame";
}

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

Just bug the user until he enters"sesame"

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

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

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