Can someone please help me... I don't know what I'm doing wrong!

I tried to answer this task in many variations and none of them seem to be right. Please help!

script.js 
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
do {
  prompt(secret);
  document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");  
} while ( secret !== "sesame" )
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <meta charset="utf-8">

You were pretty close, the only problem is the challange only wants the prompt method to be written once, you've used it twice

var secret;
do {
  secret = prompt(secret);
  document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");  
} while ( secret !== "sesame" )
