Challenge Do While loop

Why is my solution wrong? I tried the code myself and it works.

script.js 
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");

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

Ok, got it! The prompt before the loop is not necessary. Should have just declared the variable 'secret' with 'var secret;'

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