12,632 PointsIs this how you have your code arranged? The code seems good, perhaps an indentation problem.
import sys
MASTER_PASSWORD = "opens"
password = input("Please enter the super secret password: ")
attempt_count = 1
while password != MASTER_PASSWORD:
if attempt_count > 3:
sys.exit("Too many invalid password attempts")
password = input("Invalid password, try again: ")
attempt_count += 1
print("Welcome to secret town")

1,760 PointsI have the same issue as well, I have tried the code above as well without any change. No google results helpful that I found, either! IT simple exits without displaying sys.exit() message.

12,964 PointsHi Diego! Would you mind putting your code in to proper syntax? I'd love to help, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what code goes where. A slight problem when looking for mistakes. :) If you don't know how to put it into proper syntax try looking at the Markdown Cheatsheet. :)
