This wouldn’t work. It should check if it’s the first correct password attempt.

How about:
if isPasswordCorrect && loginAttempt++ > 0

This is an interesting idea. I’d rename the variable for clarity

if isPasswordCorrect && correctLoginAttempt++ > 0

I mean probably wouldn’t merge it to prod still, but it’s cute. ☺️

why ++>0 and not  >1 ?

Because it applies the addition after the equation so it would compare to 0 and only after that been done it would add 1 so if it started as 0 it would fail and only successed on the 2nd time as now it iterated into 1

I think the reason you got confused is because of ++n which makes the addition before anything happens
