Return Value Function Error.

When I'm typing the correct password, it's telling me incorrect. Where did I go wrong? Please explain.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int displayMenu() {

	int choice;

	cout << "Welcome to Chase financial security!" << endl;
	cout << "Choose the option you want, below: \n" << endl;
	cout << "1. Access your bank account? " << endl;
	cout << "2. Access your deposit account?" << endl;
	cout << "3. Access your transfer account?" << endl;
	cin >> choice;

	return choice;
}

bool accessedMenu() {
	string password = "codex23jv";
	string input;
	cout << "Enter password to access this option." << endl;
	cin >> input;
	if (input == password) {
		true;
	}

	return false;
}
int main() {

	switch (displayMenu()) {
	case 1:
	case 2:
	case 3:

		if (accessedMenu()) {
			cout << "Access granted." << endl;
		} else {
			cout << "Access denied, password incorrect." << endl;
		}
		break;

	default:
		cout << "The option you have enter is invalid." << endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

add a return. should work fine.

bool accessedMenu() {
	string password = "codex23jv";
	string input;
	cout << "Enter password to access this option." << endl;
	cin >> input;
	if (input == password) {
	return true;///see, add a return here
	}

	return false;
}

You are missing a return before the true, otherwise that statement does nothing.

Wow I just realized that too lol, thank you!

As the return value of operator== is already true or false, you could just do this:

bool accessedMenu() {
	string password = "codex23jv";
	string input;
	cout << "Enter password to access this option." << endl;
	cin >> input;
	return (input == password); // just return the result of the comparison
}
