so no clue what the right answer is for the previous code challenge, but pretty sure my 20th guess -
var secret = ""
do {secret += prompt("What is the secret password?";}
while ( secret !== "sesame" )
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
will never be correct unless you guess it right the first time. however it passes the challenge. not my first questionable response to a code challenge, and by far not the first that i couldn't figure out after going back and watching the videos about half a dozen times.

You're right, with "secret += ..." only the first try would count.
That should be just a plain assignment: "secret = ...".
The instructions for reporting a bug can be found on the Support page.
Also, when posting code, please use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area.

4,175 Pointscorrection, that was a retype, since it was two late to copy var secret = "" do (secret += prompt("What is the secret password?"))
while ( secret !== "sesame" )
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
