here is my code... is there is a difference, I can't see it.
import sys
password = input("Please enter the super secret password: ")
attempt_count = 1
while password != 'openseseme':
if attempt_count > 3:
sys.exit("Too many invalid password attempts")
pasword = input("Invalid password, try again: ")
attempt_count += 1
print("Welcome to Secret Town")
what I got was:
treehouse:~/workspace$ python password_checker.py
Please enter the super secret password: 1234567
Invalid password, try again: 234567
Invalid password, try again: openseseme
Invalid password, try again: 1234567
Too many invalid password attempts
What am I missing?
