Code took too long to run?

Somehow my code took too long to run. Is there anything wrong with it?

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

while ( secret !== 'seasame'){
secret = prompt("That's not it! Try again");
}

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

You have the password set to "seasame" instead of "sesame", so the challenge isn't able to get it right and end the loop.
