This looks fine. however you don't need that second elseif doing this will do the exact same thingwrite("Password: ") local input = read("*") local pass = "123" --Password if input == pass then print("Welcome") elseif input ~= pass then print("Wrong password") else print("Unknown error") end
if input == pass then
-- code when they are equivalent
else
-- code when that are not equivalent
end
while true do
-- program code here
end
