Been stuck on this challenge for a while.. seeking help/advice.

Bummer: You only need to call the prompt() method once, and only inside the loop. Hint: Declare the secret variable before 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.");

Just do what the bummer message says and only prompt inside the loop. Outside the loop declare the variable as follows:

var secret = "";
