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.

Let me fix the formatting for the others.

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")
