You need to compare your name with all names. Problem lies here:

if username == "cking" or "doneal" or "mcook":

Python evaluates first one to either true or false and then doing or with something, that evaluates to True in this context and at the end your comparison looks like this:

if username == "cking" or True or True:

which ends up being True. As suggested, you should use:

if username == "cking" or username == "doneal":

or simply do:

if username in ("cking", "doneal"):

The same applies to password.
