Python: Terminating loop with integer variable type

I have made a program that stores login details that you have entered and allows you to login it with it into the main part of the menu. Everything was working fine when all the data types were strings, for example; modea = input("Etc") to allow the user to select options by entering number inputs that correspond to the option, e.g "2", it should call its assigned function as it fulfills the if modea == 2 statement, but if I try to change string to integer data type, for example modea = int(input("Etc")), even if I were to enter an expected input, the loop would never stop and continue running as if I entered nothing, contrary to simply using modea = input("etc") where it treats everything as a string, and it would still accept number input and carry out its assigned action, but not if the data type is an integer?

Everything is working the way it is but changing the data type from string to integer just makes the program unable to terminate the while loops when there is no exception. From modea = input("etc") to modea = int(input("etc")).

I added full code here for it to make more sense, which most can be ignored as it runs as intended, but I can't seem to get my head around whats going on with the logged()function part of the code where I attempted to get modea = int(input("etc")) to work by terminating its loop when the if statements are fulfilled, but it just continues on looping as if everything is null. Help would be appreciated.
