Finally, I'd remove correct_password_given from the loop test, and
replace it with a break statement when the correct password is entered.
password = "qwerty"
correct_password_given = False

MaxAttempts = 3

So instead I suggest

Second, I'd suggest storing the value 3 in a variable with a name that

Python Tutor mailing list I was able to come up with the following
code:
password = "qwerty"
correct_password_given = False
guess = "0"
You could just use None here:
guess=None
count = 0
