Python prints None despite not being inside function

So I'm still relatively new to Python programming and so at the moment I'm just trying to create a simple password program. If the use has opened the program before, then it will skip the create a password bit. I have done this by creating a file which will contain the number of times the file has been opened. If the number is less than 1 then it will ask for the new password.

This bit works fine, I just have the problem that when running the following code, "None" is printed. I understand the whole function return bit but the code I'm using isn't in a function so I'm not sure why it is happening. Would really appreciate help in fixing this!

fo = open("openNo.txt", "r")
openNo = fo.read()

if int(openNo)<1:
    pw = input(print("Please enter a password: ")) #creating a new password
    pwCheck = pw
else:
    pwCheck = input(print("Please enter your password: ")) #using an existing password

fo.close()

if pwCheck == "password":
    print("Welcome!")
else:
    print("access denied")

print("Please enter a password: ") returns none so you are seeing none when you run the code

You are doing that, in fact: you are passing the result of print to input. There's no need to do that.

pw = input("Please enter a password: ")
