You initialize local function variable

int attempts = 0; 

so exit condition in while loop will be trigerred third times the code

 if (attempts++ ==2)

is run, so you will print two times:

while (Authenticate.getName() != Authenticate.getNameAttempt())
{
    if (attempts++ ==2) // increment attempts
{
    return false;
}      

It looks as it was done deliberately to exit after second print, so your confusion is hard to understand. Use the debugger, this kind of error is very easy to investigate.
