Javascript prompt, display a message if answer is right

Question

So, I want to make a javascript bookmarklet that starts a prompt to type in a password. if the password is correct it will alert a secret message. I put together some code from my other bookmarklets, and made this:

javascript: prompt("Password?");if(12345) alert(Correct)

But alas, it doesn't work. The only javascript experience i have is tinkering a little with a bunch of bookmarklets so...

Try: `javascript:prompt("Password?")==12345&&alert("Correct")` but what is the use when the password (`12345`) is in there ? — Titus, May 11 '18 at 20:29
try: `prompt("Password?") === 12345 ? alert("Correct") : ""` — mhodges, May 11 '18 at 20:29

This will work for tinkering etc. It is not actually secure.

let password = prompt('Password?');
if (password === 'asdf') {
  alert('correct');
}

W3schools has a good JavaScript intro series: https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
