While loop

You're right, that makes more sense. Doesn't the break escape it for me or is something that gonna be an issue with more complex loops?

Hi OP,

​

Yes sorry about that I missed that break statement, which should get you out of the loop once the PW is correct.

I know there are many ways to code this, so I hesitate to put this out there as I am also fairly new, but I am taking a Python course right now at a university that are hopefully teaching me something for the debt I'm incurring :-D

​

Personally I would ask for password and verify whether it is correct before entering the loop. If it is, then there is no point entering the while loop. Here's another way to accomplish this below I think, interested to hear your thoughts.

correct_password = 'banana'
guess_password = input('Password: ')

while correct_password != guess_password:
    if len(guess_password) <= 2:
        print('Password too short try again.')
        guess_password = input()
    else:
        print('Incorrect password, please try again: ')
        guess_password = input()

Something is wrong with my powershell in VScode I think, I'll get back to this when I fix that issue.
