While loop Challenge Task 1 of 1

How do I add a while loop so that the prompt keeps running until the secret password is sesame? var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); while ( secret !== 'sesame') { prompt("What is the secret password?"); } document.write("You know the secret password!");

app.js 
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
while( secret !== 'seasame') {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
}
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

I think the code won't run because you mispelled '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.");
