Do while Loop what am I missing (Open Sesame)?

I'm stuck on the Do While challenge, it says I only need to run the prompt once and inside the loop.

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.");
