Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 21,343 PointsCurrently you are prompting for an answer before you ever even enter the do...while loop. Try just declaring the variable 'secret' and then setting it to the prompt value in the loop.
var secret ;
do {
secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while ( secret !== "sesame" ) {
}
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
