that there is your problem. you’re setting `getText("password_input")` to `secret` which is assigned 1. you can’t assign a getter a value, if you want to change the text do `setText("password_input",text)` if you want to set `sectet` to `getText("password_input")`, you should do:

```
secret = getText("password_input");

```
