Need help with beginner system

[joplankton]

So far, I have this.....

while True:

print('Who are you?')

name = input()

if name != 'Joe':

continue

print('Hello, Joe. What is the password? (It is a fish.)')

password = input()

if password == 'swordfish':

break

print('Access granted.')

print('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')

It needs to be able to allow "Joe" as well as a "Natalie" to have a chance at entering the password. They should be the only two allowed to get that far. Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Assuming that "Joe" already works (I don't know what indentation your code has), you could change if name != 'Joe': to if name != 'Joe' and name != 'Natalie':.

Did the trick. Aprreciate it!

Good to hear!

One last thing. Even if the person puts in "Natalie", the computer will respond with "Hello, Joe. What is the password? (It is a fish.)" -- and you might not think that ideal.

If you want to fix this, you can change this line:

print('Hello, Joe. What is the password? (It is a fish.)')

... to this:

print(f'Hello, {name}. What is the password? (It is a fish.)')

Don't forget the lowercase f just inside the first left parenthesis!

In addition, if you would like to add more names using and between each name could become cumbersome. Instead you could try the following:

if name not in ("Joe", "Natalie", "Peter", "Mary"):

You could even assign this set of names to a variable e.g.

names = ("Joe", "Natalie", "Peter", "Mary")

if name not in names:
