I see no need for you to detect this. I'm assuming you're already checking the .Text property before evening assuring that the user actually typed in anything viable.

Instead, I recommend you confirm the password upon the user pressing return, using the .FocusLost signal of TextBox and it's EnterPressed boolean parameter:

local TextBox = script.Parent


TextBox.FocusLost:Connect(EnterPressed)
    if (not EnterPressed) then return end
    ---------------
    print(TextBox.Text == "Code")
end)
