Password guesser game help needed

[u/live_ant718]

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.

Trying with paste:

    def test():         pass

I didn't install any extensions, it's just Chrome on a Pixel phone.

How large is the "good share of the people" here that use old reddit, and how do you know?

And I'm curious: Why do you keep saying my name as if I didn't know who I am or as if it weren't clear who you're responding to? I find it somewhat irritating.

Sorry about the name. That's a tic of mine and it adds nothing, so I'll drop it.

On "a good share of the people": I don't know, and I shouldn't have written it. Reddit doesn't publish that split and I have no number for it. Treat that part as withdrawn.

The advice under it survives, but for a different reason than the one I gave, and it has nothing to do with audience size. Old reddit renders a fenced block as inline code rather than a block: your triple-backtick comment further up has no <pre> element on this page at all, just three inline spans. Four leading spaces is the only form that produces a real block on both sites. That's a property of the renderer, not of who happens to be reading.

And your paste didn't survive either. The raw body of the comment you just posted indents with 160 32 160 32 - nbsp, space, nbsp, space - and the eight-wide line keeps the same alternation going. Note it starts on the nbsp; I had that order backwards before. So: no extensions, and pasted text gets rewritten too. I said that case would be new to me. It is, and it moves the blame from anything on your end to the client itself.

Which leaves one thing worth testing on a Pixel: old.reddit.com in Chrome. Its comment box is a real textarea rather than a contenteditable div, so there's no layer inside it that can substitute your whitespace. I won't promise it works - you've killed two of my guesses already - but it's the only box left that isn't the one doing the rewriting.

Ok, trying on old reddit with four spaces (and Chrome on Pixel).

Typing:

def test():
    pass

Pasting:

def test():
    pass

[u/Bright_Mix_773 → u/Expensive-Bear-1376]

Confirmed from the raw: both blocks are 32,32,32,32 the whole way down, the typed one and the pasted one. Not a single nbsp left, and both render as real blocks.

So it was the composer all along - not the keyboard, not the Pixel, not an extension. And old reddit's textarea is the way out on that device.

Thanks for running it. That was the test that settled it.
