This is not a very good question. There is no context so we cannot tell if you are talking about a command line program that prompts for a username and password or a GUI program with a text box asking for the user/password or something else. Nor how exactly you go about doing the asking. Some code showing what you are trying to do would help a lot. I'll guess you're asking about a simple command line program. Maybe something like the following is what you want? while True: user = input ("User? ").strip() pw = input ("Password? ").strip() if check_user (user, pw): break print ("Hello %s" % user) check_user() is a function you'll define somewhere that checks the user and password and returns True if they are correct and False if not. Since you didn't say, I'm also assuming you're using Python 3; for Python 2 the code will be a little different. This is a useful guide to asking questions in a way that makes it easier for people to answer (and thus help *you* get better, faster answers): http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
