A closer look at loop conditions - Challenge

I have been stuck on this challenge now for just over a day. I feel we have not learnt the skills to complete this challenge.

Please could someone advise me of what I am missing/doing wrong?

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

while (secret !== sesame){
 secret = prompt ("That's not the right password")
}

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

I figured it out in the end... I was missing "" around sesame.

while (secret !== "sesame") { secret = prompt("That's the wrong password"); }
