Adding a while loop so that a prompt keeps reappearing in Js.

Hey guys I am struggling with the problem. Maybe I don't quite understand what the question. Bellow is the question :

" 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. "

I've attached my code to this. Any help would be welcome and much appreciate.

Thank you!

Here is what I did: 

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.");
