🔒 "while" loop not working

[ancient elk]

I'm not sure why is this code not working. As far I'm aware this should be working once I type Patata Patooti.

username = input("Username: ").title

while not username == "Patata Patooti":
    print("Wrong username. Please try again.")
    username = input("Username: ").title
print(f"Welcome {username}!")```

It does works but even if I type Patata Patooti, the loop continues

[lunar narwhal]

it should be .title(), not just .title

and if you want case insensitive matching i would recommend to use something like

username = input("Username: ")

while username.casefold() != "Patata Patooti".casefold():
    print("Wrong username. Please try again.")
    username = input("Username: ")
print(f"Welcome {username}!")

and to remove the need for repeating the code line for the input, here is a perfect place to use the walrus operator that we mentioned previously
it's then condensed down to

while (username := input("Username: ")).casefold() != "Patata Patooti".casefold():
    print("Wrong username. Please try again.")
print(f"Welcome {username}!")
