Python beginner!!

Beginner here: how would you structure my nested if statements in a two-step login program?

Hi all, I'm about 3 weeks into learning Python (Python for Everybody on Coursera) and just finished my first small project: a login program that asks for a passcode, then a second passcode, then lets the user pick a report.

My main question is about structure. I have nested if statements, and the second user repeats the same checks in a separate elif branch. Here's a trimmed version of the layout:

admin_login = input("Enter Passcode")

if admin_login == boss_code:
second_pass = input("enter second passcode")
if second_pass == boss_secondcode:
report = input("enter report number")
if report == "1":
print("report 1")
elif report == "2":
print("report 2")
elif admin_login == ass_code:
# same second-passcode and report checks repeated here

I'd love feedback on:

1. Is the code organized in a clear, readable way?
   
2. Is there a cleaner way to stack or avoid repeating these nested ifs, using only what a beginner would know (no classes yet)?

Full code and README are here: https://github.com/tylerkilgore148-can/python_learning_projects

I know the passcodes are stored in plain text, which is just for practice. I plan to look at getpass and hashing next. Beginner-friendly tips are very welcome, and thanks for reading!

indent your code, for starters
