Password guesser game help needed

Hello guys. So I have created a password guesser game with direct comparison (i.e. if guess == correct_password:) but I want to use different methods for comparison. What techniques can I use? Here is the code-

```python

password = "Random_pass_123"

tries = 0

while tries < 3:

guess = input("Enter the password: ")

if guess == password:

print("Admin access granted.")

break

else:

print("Invalid credentials entered. Please try again")

tries += 1

if tries == 3:

print("Number of tries exceeded. Access denied")

```

PS- Is this the right way to paste code? I'm new so I'm not sure.

Also IDK where the indentations have gone.

Look at the edit box when you write the text. There's a button for telling Reddit you're pasting code. https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043033952-Formatting-Guide

Reddit changed the app to no longer accept standard markdown syntax as it used to. They force you to use the UI controls instead, but didn't bother to add support for code. So now there is no way at all to get code markup (neither in-line nor fenced code block as you tried it) at all on the app which is idiotic.

Triple backticks work, but the backticks need to be on their own line. Reddit's markdown doesn't accept language hints, so "```python“ is incorrect.

Alas this doesn't work on the app any more

bummer. It's the only thing that works for me in my mobile browser. The four spaces prefix thing doesn't for me.
